Nurse Floria works with passion and professionalism in the surgical ward of a Swiss hospital. Her every move is perfect. She has an open ear for patients, even in the most stressful situations, and is immediately on hand in an emergency – ideally. But in the harsh reality of her daily routine, things are often unpredictable. When she starts her late shift one day, a colleague is absent from the fully occupied, understaffed ward. Amidst the hustle and bustle, Floria looks after a seriously ill young mother and an old man desperately waiting for his diagnosis with the same care and routine as a private patient with extra demands. But as the night progresses, her work becomes more and more of a race against time.

A clash of tartans in this offbeat documentary charting the run up and coming inauguration of the newly confirmed Chief of Clan Buchanan, millionaire Scottish landowner Mike Buchanan. With no chief for 300 years, and few historical records to go on, ritual and ceremony are being freely invented. Even as hundreds of kilt wearing enthusiasts flock to their magnificent Highland estate for the event.
Whether Scotland and its history are seen Romantically, authentically, or somewhere in between, a rare chance to witness history in the making (up), a sideways look at how traditions are created, and surprisingly, the real pull of belonging.
We’re delighted that one of the film’s directors - Barbara Orton - will join us for a post-film Q&A.
From the Oscar®-winning team behind 20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA documents the toll of the Russia-Ukraine war from a personal and devastating vantage point. Following his historic account of the civilian toll in Mariupol, Mstyslav Chernov turns his lens towards Ukrainian soldiers — who they are, where they came from, and the impossible decisions they face in the trenches as they fight for every inch of their land.
Amid a failing counteroffensive in 2023, Chernov and his AP colleague Alex Babenko follow a Ukrainian brigade battling through approximately one mile of a heavily fortified forest on their mission to liberate the Russian-occupied village of Andriivka. Weaving together original footage, intensive Ukrainian Army bodycam video and powerful moments of reflection, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA reveals with haunting intimacy, the farther the soldiers advance through their destroyed homeland, the more they realize that, for them, this war may never end.
Palestinians in the West Bank cannot travel more than 10 kilometres without being stopped by Israeli restrictions. ‘Freedom to Run’ follows Palestinian running group ‘Right to Movement’ and a group from Glasgow as they train for and run, both the Palestine and Edinburgh marathons. Whilst in Palestine, the Scottish runners learn about the impact of the restrictions on everyday life, and that something as universal as running is a far from easy task. The runners discover that they are not so different, but that they live very different lives.
There will be a Q&A with filmmaker Dr Cairsti Russell after the screening. Cairsti Russell is a sociologist, runner, and one of the filmmakers behind Freedom to Run. Cairsti, who also features as a runner in the documentary, felt compelled to make the film after being confronted with the reality of life in Palestine when she first visited in 2012.
Screening in association with Dumfries and Galloway Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
One of the world’s greatest singers, Andrea Bocelli has a voice that transcends genres and generations. In this intimate portrait of the acclaimed Italian tenor, Bocelli, for the first time, tells his story in his own words.
Documentarian Cosima Spender follows Bocelli with unprecedented access beyond the footlights to reveal an uncompromising artist and devoted family man with a fearless passion for living. Despite losing his sight at age 12, Bocelli dedicated his life to music and after years spent entertaining customers in piano bars, caught the attention of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti, who heard Bocelli’s voice on a demo tape. Bocelli’s life changed dramatically with the worldwide smash hit “Time to Say Goodbye,” his astonishing duet with Sarah Brightman that catapulted him to superstardom. With hard-fought technical mastery of his voice and his decades-long love of opera — “music’s heaven” — Bocelli would go on to perform on the world’s most prestigious stages and with diverse singing partners such as Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez, and Dua Lipa. Through interviews, archival performance footage, and informal gatherings with family and friends, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe celebrates the voice — and man — who continues to touch the hearts of millions of listeners around the world.
