A series of specially commissioned films today to mark the Commonwealth Games handover ceremony in Delhi.

The six films, collectively entitled Walls of Light, have been made by internationally-renowned Scottish artists Calum Stirling, Henry Coombes, Katri Walker, Alex Hetherington, Stina Wirfelt and Clara Ursitti, and tell the stories of ordinary and extraordinary Scots in the world of sporting endeavour.

These filmswere commissioned by CCA to mark the beginning of Glasgow’s tenure as hst of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

They explore the ways in which artists can respond to sport in its broadest sense, as well as the social and cultural impact of the games on the city and its people.
