A film by MA Contemporary Art and Archaeology graduate Lucy Carr-McClave is one of the finalists in the 2026 West Lothian Film Festival awards.

What’s Left Lasting: People, Process & Time at the Ness of Brodgar is one of four finalists in the Best Feature Documentary category, with the winners announced at a ceremony in November.

During 2024’s final season of major excavation at the Ness of Brodgar, Lucy was on site capturing elements of the dig. After going through hours of recorded footage, she created a poignant record of the project – as seen through the eyes of some of the many people involved.

The film was premiered in the Orkney Theatre, Kirkwall, in January 2026.
