Watch the trailer for stunning Scottish drama Harvest: The Skinny
The Scottish landscape has rarely looked better on screen than in Athina Rachel Tsangari's woozy folk western Harvest. Take a look at the film's first trailer.

The live music was excellent, really made this film. Glad I was persuaded to get a ticket!
Magnificent live accompaniment to Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans by Stephen Horne and Elizabeth Jane Baldry at Malvern Theatres this evening. Anyone else notice the resemblance of the Man (George O’ Brien) to… Ryan Gosling?

Wonderful to have Victoria Mapplebeck at #borderlines2025 on #iwd2025 with her film Motherboard. Filmed almost entirely on 6 generations of smartphone, it’s a moving, funny, honest and intimate account of bringing up her son Jim as a single parent. borderlinesfilmfestival.co.uk/film/motherb...
