Conference in Barlinnie Special Unit c.1980
Additional Information
Conference. Begins with a handheld camera placed in the back of the room zooming in on a man in a suit and tie, a woman and man seated behind him. The camera pans out to reveal another two men and a woman seated at a long table with a white table cloth. A microphone is visible at the edge of the table, and a stereo box system rests at the far right end. The conference is taking place in front of a seated audience in a medium-sized well lit room- the Special Unit at Barlinnie Prison. The film is one long, continuous shot that takes time to zoom and focus in on the artworks set up on the perimeter of the surrounding walls, the people in the room, and the delegates on panel. Ends with a zoomed out shot of the panel and a cut. There is no sound, and occasional waves in tracking disrupt the image.
