A really great festival edition that lightened up a slightly wintery Edinburgh, in a beautiful cinema just off the Royal Mile. We had a highly appreciative audience and a few of our blessed filmmakers were in attendance to add to the enjoyment. It was great to meet everyone, a huge thank you to our festival participants and can’t wait for next season.
Gus an ath uair (see ya next time in Gaelic)!

A corporate secretary doesn’t understand the concept of April Fools Day. Or maybe she’s just living in a dystopian world. Donald Trump longs for Marge Simpson, so paints himself yellow and tries to find her in Springfield. It’s Lore’s first day as a navigator, and she’s eager to start her new job—if only her ship would show up. For that special time it takes a special cologne…Turkish Suede. Three brothers argue about the origin and meaning of a stain that appears in their late father’s house. In a rainy and desolate countryside, a man finds himself stuck behind the wheel of his broken-down car.
