Short Films
The Living Earth
This film by Glenda Rome was produced to accompany The Living Earth, a 2025 solo exhibition with The Scottish Gallery.
“Working directly in the landscape, Pascale Rentsch embraces the weather, light and spontaneity of painting outdoors. Her expressive marks capture not just the appearance of a place, but its emotional resonance- the feeling of standing in the wind, of rain on paper, of light flickering through gorse. Her practice is a deeply personal and poetic one, rooted in observation, connection, and care. Her paintings are intimate visual diaries, recording moments of stillness, encounters with nature, and the small glimmers of hope and beauty that can be found in everyday landscapes. This exhibition brings together work made across Scotland including East Lothian, the Isle of Islay, and Luing- locations rich in memory, meaning, and wild natural beauty.”
This is my Voice
This is my Voice was part funded through the Visual Artists & Craft Makers Award (VACMA) and produced by film-maker Sarah Mason in 2021. Some words from Sarah below:
“It becomes more than just a picture”. As I was recording Pascale’s voiceover for this film, this line really stuck with me.
Pascale doesn’t just observe the nature and landscape around her, she becomes part of it. Watching her paint is utterly immersive. It’s like a dance, and all her materials around her play their part.
I’m so lucky to have one of the paintings featured in the film hanging in my lounge. It’s a symphony of light, colour and movement, and holds all those memories of making the film together.
