We're delighted to be screening a documentary from locally born filmmaker, Glenda Rome, who will also provide an introduction and there will be a short Q&A session after the film.
Along rugged coastlines, through ancient forests, and into the geological bedrock of Scotland’s wild places, Expressing the Earth embarks on a cinematic journey into Geopoetics - the philosophy developed by the late Scottish poet-thinker Kenneth White, which seeks a deeper connection between mind, language, and the living world.
This powerful debut feature by Glenda Rome is a meditation on perception and belonging - guided by White’s poetry and thought, yet grounded in the Earth itself. Through immersive cinematography and the voices of artists, geologists, and thinkers influenced by his work, the film explores where landscape and mindscape meet, revealing a space where geology, art, and inner reflection converge.
A poetic and thought-provoking journey, Expressing the Earth invites us to look again at our relationship with the planet - and to rediscover the creative connection between human perception and the living Earth.
About the Director: Glenda is a Scottish filmmaker whose cinematic work bridges art, environmental and human connection. For over two decades she has worked internationally on documentaries and community projects — from collaborating with Indigenous communities in the Ecuadorian rainforest and Iñupiat people in Alaska, to helping young and under-represented voices tell their own stories through film.

The ever popular French Film Festival returns to the RBC with a classic thriller from 1995. France’s master of suspense, Claude Chabrol, relishes every malevolent, icily controlled shot of this perfectly constructed thriller, right up to its terrifying, violent climax.
Adapted from Ruth Rendell's classic thriller, A Judgement in Stone, Chabrol transposes it to a remote French village. This iconic film has left a lasting mark on the cinematic landscape. Its influence transcends borders, shaping contemporary masterpieces like Bong Joon-Ho’s Parasite. In French with English subtitles.
