Silly Wee Films: Night is Day
Saturday 3 March 2012
12:00pm
Adult: £5.00
Ages: 12 and over
Jason Mackenzie has become a hidden hero; a rumour, an urban myth.
DCI Charles Sloan is a veteran in the police force who knows the truth behind the whispered tales. He has had his own encounters with supernatural entities, demons and vampires, and knows first-hand the work of the ‘lightning vigilante’.
Now there is a new danger in the city: the Caillech, an ancient creature portrayed in legend as wielding an unstoppable hammer, bent on wreaking havoc after centuries of exile. Teamed with a former adversary of Jason’s, whose phony contrition has many fooled, the Caillech is a formidable threat to the peace Jason struggles to maintain.
In Night Is Day Jason must focus all his powers on discovering the Caillech’s intentions and defeating her before she decimates his city. He must ensure the safety of DCI Sloan and his team, who are determined to play their part in helping Jason despite the increased danger they face as mere humans. And he must find out what’s so important about Lena, a medical student he saved from a vicious attack, and who seems to have an uncanny connection with the Caillech.

WCSP soon became a confused beast, splintering into setting up clubs, salons, design/art, pamphlets and broadcasting.
Tonight launches WCSP 006 - MAO DISNEY (Fluxing Up The Aesthetic), a 12" white vinyl explosion that captures the best of neu Scotland. Featuring audio pop beautifully packaged, Mao Disney is a trip into the future, informed by the past.

In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading”, TEDxGlasgow gathers remarkable people with inspiring stories for an eclectic afternoon of short talks, performances and discussion (with refreshments) around some of the most pressing issues facing Scotland and the wider world. We will be exploring transformational ideas in education, economy, health and wellbeing in what should be an uplifting experience that stimulates thought and action.
Scotland contributed enormously to the intellectual ferment of the Enlightenment and we sincerely hope that TEDxGlasgow can make some small contribution to the development of new ideas to tackle the challenges society faces. Our more modest goal is to entertain and enthrall with some passionate, fascinating speakers with tales to tell. These are not formal lectures; they are dynamic performances that last a maximum of 18 minutes. During breaks and the reception afterwards, speakers and audience can share their thoughts.

TED is a nonprofit organisation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world's leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Edinburgh, UK.
TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organised events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxGlasgow, where x = independently organised TED event. At TEDxGlasgow, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organised.
