In ‘Drifting with Debord’, Glasgow Glam Rock Dialogues channel the spirits of David Bowie, Suzi Quatro and Karl Marx to debate the life and legacy of Guy Debord, theoretical leader of the Paris-based Situationist International and author of ‘The Society of the Spectacle’ and ‘Theory of the Dérive’. Transposing Debord’s ideas on the dérive from street to screen, this 17-minute film explores what a drifting cinema might look and sound like as it drifts from Paris to Glasgow, from present to past, and both with and away from Debord himself.

For Screen Journal's 29th International Screen Studies Conference 2019, The Glasgow Glam Rock Dialogues/The Tenementals performed a suite of original songs to follow a dialectical debate enacting Debord's theories, and screened the film.

Jessica Argo and Ronan Breslin lead the location recording and sound design for the film.

The film also screened at 15th Cyprus International Film Festival, Glasgow Short Film Festival, XIX International Kask Festival, Russia, SorsitCorti International Festival, Palermo Italy, Univesity of Skovde, Sweden, Tolpuddle Radical Film Festival, UK, Calcutta International Short Film Festival, Festival Internacional del Cine Austral, Cordoba Argentina, Bridges International Film Festival, Corinth, Greece.
