The extraordinary story of Scottish amateur filmmaker, Harry Birrell, the man who captured his life on camera.

Harry Birrell was given his first cine-camera as a boy in 1928. He obsessively spent his life recording incidents great and small - from his wartime years in Bombay to meeting the love of his life. Then at his home near Glasgow, in the 1950s, Harry knocked through two bedrooms to create a fully-furnished home cinema, which became known as the smallest cinema in Scotland.

Matt Pinder’s beautifully composed, captivating documentary delivers one man’s cinematic vision of the 20th century and his own incredible journey through it.

Winner of the Audience Award at Glasgow Film Festival and narrated by Richard Madden, the film plunders the treasure trove of Harry's 400 films and personal diaries.
