Shane Meadows
'Nine out of 10 people who I ever talk to, Dead Man's Shoes is almost annoyingly at the top of everyone's list!' We speak to Shane Meadows ahead of the EIFF screening of his iconic revenge thriller
Past Lives
A melancholy and aching sleight of emotional hand that signals the arrival of a major new voice
Lions, Love (...and Lies)
Part of this years introspective on Shirley Clarke...everyone makes mistakes...
Dreams With Sharp Teeth
Based on the enigmatic Harlan Ellison from childhood to bookshop climbing.
Faintheart
What a load of Crap.
Let The Right One In
Another vampire flick to add to the pile.
Encounters At The End Of The World
Werner Herzog delivers another dose of his endearing film making with a look at those strange folk amongst us who chose to live in Antarctica...
Mermaid
A good effort to draw attention to the hapless among us but ends up as one long drink/driving advert.
Man On Wire
A chance to see how Phillippe Petit worked his way up and breached security in order to live out his childhood dream of walking the rope between the two towers. Eerie and compelling viewing.
Black Box Shorts
This years shorts focus on the theme of connection and as always the good come with the bad.

Shiver (Eskalofr
A smorgasboard of characters and incidents from the past ten years of horror movies that surprisingly impresses.
