Steven Berkoff: Gorbals 1966 (Photography on Screen)

[@Chris-hp8yf]

Hello Steven. I like the way you’ve made the film title slide in behind and out front of the architecture in the opening sequence. The monochromes and scarlet make a very eye catching visual. Thank you for blessing us through the sharing of your very evident creativity.

A little bit of genius in this little film and true words. Well done Mr Berkoff.

Thank you Steven as a 65year old Glasgow man from the Calton about a mile away you have brought the memories flooding back, it's lovely to me that you get the Glasgow people.

The man Steven elaborates on at 6:14ff is standing where the foot of Portugal Street gives onto Norfolk Street, so that corner pub isn't the Seaforth, which is in Gorbals Street, as the other snaps show. This snap is looking towards Gorbals Cross. I was born in Portugal Street.

Oh, the loss that Glasgow has experienced like a WWII scene in some parts. Wonderful photos.

I came from the same background in Glasgow in the Sixties and seventies, it's funny but when I was growing up in the Gorbals I never thought of it being deprived, just saying from Glasgow 😊👍😎🇬🇧

Thanks for reply. You are quite right in what you say - the perception of somewhere being 'deprived' can sometimes be an opinion 'looking in' rather than that lived. These are obviously Steven's opinions on how he saw it and continued to do so at the time of recording this work in 2018.
