About This Movie

Traces Left is a fascinating glimpse into the lesser-known contributions of Helen Biggar in the realm of experimental cinema. The film interweaves her artistic journey with insights into her collaboration with Norman McLaren. The atmosphere is both reflective and innovative, capturing the essence of the Glaswegian art scene. There’s this tangible texture and depth to the visuals, likely influenced by Biggar’s background in textiles and sculpture.
