Overview
The screening of the short film 'Faces' at the 1961 Edinburgh and London Film Festivals kick started the film career of young McConnell, then studying at Glasgow School of Art. 'Faces', a comment on the personas we adopt, was inspired by a visit to the Brussels Experimental Film Festival of 1958 where McConnell saw the work of many European film makers, films of a genre unseen at that time in Britain. Many were without words, telling their stories in a variety of genres, live action, animation, puppetry, and making social comments on their times.
