A BRAND NEW PROFESSIONAL SCAN, NOW WITH ORIGINAL LIVE IN-CAMERA SOUND, of an 8mm film I'd shot on the River Clyde at Yoker and Renfrew, 5 years before these iconic chain-guided ferries were withdrawn by 1986 and replaced with a small pedestrian-only boat. The old ferries had originally worked at Erskine, before the busy road bridge was built.
The oldest ferry dominates most of the film, before the newer reserve ferry (now a music venue permanently docked on The Broomielaw) finishes the film. And a world famous "visitor" gate-crashes the film, near the end.
This new film scan reinstates the original fully-immersive 12-minute edit completed on the film-stock in 1981, as well as the film's original magnetic live soundtrack restored and reinstated for the first time.
