It was founded in 2015 by Margaret Salmon for the production of her first feature length film, Eglantine. Our goal is to provide industry standard production support for innovative, creative filmmakers on projects which require responsive production models. Inspired by a brilliant legacy of experimental film productions in Britain and following in the footsteps of Margaret Tait’s Ancona Films, Derek Jarman Films, The GPO Film Unit, London Filmmakers Coop, and Amber Film &amp; Photography Collective, amongst many others, Housework Films is an intersectional feminist, anti-racist, queer and class conscious company. We look to incorporate community minded practice into our work and seek to expand Glasgow’s film production capacity through employment, training and mentoring. Our goal is to encourage, foster and empower innovative feature length independent filmmaking in Scotland. Housework films has produced over 7 films since 2015, with 2 feature length premiers at the London Film Festival, and a commission for Random Acts, Channel 4 amongst its credits.&nbsp;Housework Films Ltd. is led by Margaret Salmon.

The development of the film will be shared through a solo exhibition called Assembly on display between June – Oct 2025. Depicting everyday urban characters and stories, To a God Unknown centres its narrative around a middle-aged single mother and a series of ‘hauntings’, reflecting the ways that dominant social orders dictate gendered behaviour but also how resilience and connection can be fostered through community and imagination. The film will be shot on 35mm film in various locations across Glasgow during Autumn 2025 working in collaboration with local community groups in Glasgow’s Kelvinside and Maryhill areas. The completed film will premier in Spring 2026 before touring art institutions and film festivals internationally. <img width="2286" height="1609" width_o="2286" height_o="1609" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/759ae0af1a5d5b144d1b521f808f204843be4e18b51016fdb164eb715129ce53/Single-Test-To-A-God-Unknown--copy.jpg" data-mid="236529773" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/759ae0af1a5d5b144d1b521f808f204843be4e18b51016fdb164eb715129ce53/Single-Test-To-A-God-Unknown--copy.jpg" /> https://houseworkfilms.com/Training Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:15:19 +0000 Housework Films https://houseworkfilms.com/Training Housework Films periodically hosts technical and creative workshops, keep an eye out for upcoming sessions in Glasgow and elsewhere.&nbsp; <img width="5439" height="4563" width_o="5439" height_o="4563" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9fdd16378fb48c54c2594bd735a4eac6507acd925ab85196189b6ead3874e985/M_Salmon_07_06_2019_1.jpg" data-mid="236529860" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9fdd16378fb48c54c2594bd735a4eac6507acd925ab85196189b6ead3874e985/M_Salmon_07_06_2019_1.jpg" /> <img width="4954" height="7034" width_o="4954" height_o="7034" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/269aebb0e59273084b9e12fd1b108513bf18c6fb058d775c29267e43189ea624/Poster_instructions_test3-copy.jpg" data-mid="236529879" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/269aebb0e59273084b9e12fd1b108513bf18c6fb058d775c29267e43189ea624/Poster_instructions_test3-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="3089" width_o="2048" height_o="3089" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/00153bf2abd8c63b49b8bab673d08b0297542be0bc099d9e5bcadeb223765c67/000065460011.jpg" data-mid="236532424" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/00153bf2abd8c63b49b8bab673d08b0297542be0bc099d9e5bcadeb223765c67/000065460011.jpg" /> https://houseworkfilms.com/Archives Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:15:19 +0000 Housework Films https://houseworkfilms.com/Archives TBC! <img width="3035" height="4535" width_o="3035" height_o="4535" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/715c998b903afe6170f02a6923a659ba815a031e3b29b4f96dde3ced14fe64fb/000013.JPG" data-mid="236529933" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/715c998b903afe6170f02a6923a659ba815a031e3b29b4f96dde3ced14fe64fb/000013.JPG" /> https://houseworkfilms.com/Suspendisse-Est Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:15:20 +0000 Housework Films https://houseworkfilms.com/Suspendisse-Est <img width="3001" height="1876" width_o="3001" height_o="1876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/266c3eef1a0a1d03e5b656d94771db91d84f98862acfea28c88ca64897e52c0f/horizontal.svg" data-mid="236390670" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/266c3eef1a0a1d03e5b656d94771db91d84f98862acfea28c88ca64897e52c0f/horizontal.svg" /> <img width="1875" height="2300" width_o="1875" height_o="2300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87487bc7a84ba4f5015a6881a69f85b802b02caa678b444588ea9340bdfe0794/vertical.svg" data-mid="236390671" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87487bc7a84ba4f5015a6881a69f85b802b02caa678b444588ea9340bdfe0794/vertical.svg" /> <img width="1875" height="2300" width_o="1875" height_o="2300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87487bc7a84ba4f5015a6881a69f85b802b02caa678b444588ea9340bdfe0794/vertical.svg" data-mid="236390671" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87487bc7a84ba4f5015a6881a69f85b802b02caa678b444588ea9340bdfe0794/vertical.svg" /> TBC&nbsp; <img width="1875" height="2300" width_o="1875" height_o="2300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/87487bc7a84ba4f5015a6881a69f85b802b02caa678b444588ea9340bdfe0794/vertical.svg" data-mid="236390671" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/87487bc7a84ba4f5015a6881a69f85b802b02caa678b444588ea9340bdfe0794/vertical.svg" /> Stills TBC https://houseworkfilms.com/Et-Magnis-Disc Tue, 29 Jul 2025 14:15:21 +0000 Housework Films https://houseworkfilms.com/Et-Magnis-Disc We are looking for a number of cast members for a micro-budget feature length artists film, To a God Unknown, filmed on location in Glasgow this autumn.
