Cinema was a haven and a sanctuary, says actor Tilda Swinton
Film archive became an early passion, thanks to the film maker Derek Jarman. He cast her in Caravaggio in 1986, just as she was about to give up acting.
"But Derek used a super eight camera. He pulled together a lot of young people like me, it was like a school. "If I hadn't met Derek, I wouldn't be performing and I'd probably have a job in an archive like this," added Swinton.She still lives in Nairn, between film projects. She and her frequent collaborator, the film maker Mark Cousins, once dragged a mobile cinema across the Highlands in a bid to bring films to as many local communities as possible.
"The cost of living crisis is a different thing and we have to think very seriously about that. It's not a luxury, it's important to our culture and it's important to our mental health.""We need big screens - or small ones - and good sound systems," she said.
