Discomfort and Joy
Filmmaker Bill Forsyth is one of the most important and fondly regarded of all living Scottish artists. It also established Forsyth as one of the most distinctive and original voices in late twentieth-century European film. His filmmaking career, beginning with That Sinking Feeling (1979), paved the way for the emergence of an indigenous Scottish cinema.
