Fusion Youth Group:
North Glasgow Project

A film about young people learning media skills and older people showing how to live it up and look out for each other.

Question: What are old people like?
Answer: Like us but older.

Filming, interviews, dancing, wise words from Queen Mary and young Kieran. The experience of making this short film was special. Red Roads Alive and Kicking Club meets Fusion Youth Group. Whether you were born in 1917 or 1997 you can still have a chinwag and a dance and learn a thing or two about yourself.

A short film about the Camera Obscura at Red Road set up by StreetLevel Photoworks and Multi Story.

This cultural project delivered a range of historical and arts based programmes for the residents of Red Road Flats and the surrounding neighbourhoods to commemorate, educate, celebrate and mark the end of an era of the Red Road Flats. The project integrated continuous community engagement throughout the 7 to 8 year life cycle of the project as it will run alongside the demolition plan for the whole site.
