Overview

Mackintosh Redux is a restored version of the original 1968 film Mackintosh, also directed by Murray Grigor. Mackintosh Redux was scanned to 4K from original 35mm preservation materials of the 1968 film Mackintosh held in the National Library of Scotland’s Moving Image Archive. It was then re-mastered by the Moving Image Technical and Preservation Manager, Alan Russell. Murray Grigor, the director of the original film, had Frank Spedding’s original score re-recorded by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Rory Boyle at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Although keeping to the main framework of the 1968 film there are now a number of new shots edited in and others that were dropped; subtitles added to inform the music sections and a revised narration assessing mackintosh in the history of architecture.
