Cat is a solitary animal, but as its home is devastated by a great flood, he finds refuge on a boat populated by various species and will have to team up with them despite their differences. FLOW is a stunning animated film directed by Gints Zilbalodis (Away). Flow was a deserved winner of the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at this year's Academy Awards.
Presented in association with Nithraid, an annual festival that celebrates the River Nith, its history and ecology - with a boat race up the river with the tide into the centre of town, creative activities on Mill Green, and a procession from the town centre to the river’s edge.

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.
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.
