One Day Removals
Mark Stirton’s film, One Day Removals, is a slapstick, black comedy based in and around Aberdeen. The dialogue is entirely in the local North East dialect making One Day Removals the first full length feature film in the Doric dialect of Scots.
The film is available at retail outlets throughout the North East or you can watch it online now on film site Babelgum. The Scots Language Centre is celebrating the film’s success with a series of clips and related features. One of the highlights is an interview with the filmmakers from BBC Radio Scotland in which they discuss language issues and the absence of North East speech forms from Scottish TV.
The film is rated 18. Some of the clips contain swearing and violence from the start and are unsuitable for anyone who is under 18 or finds these offensive. You can purchase a DVD of the film through the Canadian based company CineVault.
