This research project explores the work of the Orcadian filmmaker, artist and poet, Margaret Tait. Tait stands out as one of the few women filmmakers in Scotland. Furthermore, she is increasingly recognised as a pioneer in the area of experimental film. Originally trained as a GP and serving in the RAMC in the Far East, Tait later studied filmmaking in Rome in the 1960s. Her main body of work consists largely of short experimental films and she made one feature, Blue Black Permanent, in 1993. She was also an accomplished writer, publishing three books of poetry and two collections of short stories and there is also a great deal of unpublished material in her extensive archive (located in Kirkwall).Tait was a truly independent filmmaker. She established her own film company and self-financed most of her productions. Her work stretches across an impressive range of styles (e.g. hand-painted animations, film poetry or observational portraits of her immediate surroundings). Yet throughout her lifetime, Tait's work remained relatively unknown and although championed in avant-garde filmmaking circles, her films are scarcely given adequate attention in studies of Scottish cinema. For instance, Duncan Petrie's seminal book on Scottish Cinema dedicates little more than a paragraph to Tait. In the past six years the researcher has spent a great deal of time researching Tait. Two small research grants from Carnegie have made this possible (both £2000 app., one currently active). The initial research into the archive materials was conducted in 2006 and was wholly supported by a small research grant from the Carnegie Trust. The research resulted in a number of public events, conference papers, three book chapters and a journal article. This research project aims to readdress the historical oversight of Tait's work by engaging with the rich archival resources related to the filmmaker's work, producing a book-length study of the filmmaker and an edited collection of Tait's poetry and various writings. Furthermore, the project will ensure the preservation of additional papers and ephemera currently held by the filmmakers husband, Alex Pirie. This will include the digitization of a number of recorded readings of Tait's poetry. A number of interviews with key supporters of Tait's filmmaking will also be conducted.

本研究项目探讨了奥克迪亚电影制作人、艺术家和诗人玛格丽特·泰特的作品。泰特是苏格兰为数不多的女性电影人之一。此外，她越来越被认为是实验电影领域的先驱。泰特最初是一名全科医生，在远东的RAMC服役，后来于20世纪60年代在罗马学习电影制作。她的主要作品主要是实验短片，1993年她制作了一部故事片《蓝黑永久》。她也是一位颇有成就的作家，出版了三本诗集和两部短篇小说集，在她位于柯克沃尔的大量档案中也有大量未发表的材料。泰特是一位真正的独立电影人。她成立了自己的电影公司，并自费制作了大部分作品。她的作品风格多样，令人印象深刻（例如手绘动画、电影诗歌或观察她周围环境的肖像）。然而，在泰特的一生中，她的作品仍然相对不为人知，尽管在前卫电影制作圈中备受推崇，但她的电影在苏格兰电影研究中几乎没有得到足够的关注。例如，邓肯·皮特里（Duncan Petrie）关于苏格兰电影的开创性著作只用了一段话来描述泰特。在过去的六年中，研究人员花了大量的时间研究台湾。卡内基的两笔小额研究资助使这成为可能（两笔资助均为2000英镑，其中一笔目前仍在使用）。对档案材料的初步研究是在2006年进行的，完全由卡内基信托基金会的一笔小额研究经费支持。这项研究产生了许多公共活动、会议论文、三本书籍章节和一篇期刊文章。本研究项目旨在利用与电影制作人工作相关的丰富档案资源，重新解决泰特作品的历史疏忽，制作一部关于电影制作人的书籍，以及泰特诗歌和各种作品的编辑集。此外，该项目将确保保存制片人丈夫亚历克斯皮里目前持有的其他文件和短暂的作品。这将包括将一些泰特诗歌的录音读物数字化。此外，还将对泰特电影制作的主要支持者进行一些采访。
