Scottish International Storytelling Festival
Co-sponsored by the Elphinstone Institute and the Grampian Association of Storytellers
Storytelling and animated film come together to bring the tales of Scotland’s Travelling People to life. The Two Ravens, produced by Christine Martin and animator John McGeoch, is a story of black magic, love, and the deep belief in goodness personified by the folk hero Jack, adapted from the telling of Duncan Williamson (1928–2007). Linda Williamson will complement the film telling stories from Duncan’s legacy and from their years under canvas with their two children, living in the traditional gelly camp.
