Brought together by the unexpected inheritance of an abandoned house in rural Normandy, four cousins discover they share a mysterious family history. In 1895, their ancestor Adèle, then aged 21, leaves her hometown to search for her mother in Paris. She discovers a city on the cusp of modernity, bustling with new-found avant-garde creativity, with the rise of photography and the birth of Impressionist painting. As her descendants retrace her steps, they unravel Adèle’s surprising past. The two timelines of 1895 and 2024 intertwine and collide, confronting the cousins’ contemporary attitudes with life in late 19th century Paris, leaving everyone’s future forever changed.

Defiant, brilliant, and untamable, Leonora Carrington refused to live by anyone’s rules but her own. In the charged atmosphere of 1930s Paris, she falls under the spell of the Surrealist movement - and into a passionate, volatile love affair with the German artist Max Ernst. Together, they create a world where art and life blur, surrounded by icons like André Breton and Salvador Dalí, and build an otherworldly refuge in the south of France filled with sculpted creatures and strange, living dreams. But as war engulfs Europe, their fantasy shatters. Ernst is arrested as an enemy alien, and Leonora is thrust into a nightmare of loss, madness, and survival. Fleeing to Spain, she spirals into psychological torment and endures brutal institutional treatment. Emerging scarred but unbroken, Leonora finds her way to Mexico - a place of magic and rebirth - where she reclaims her art, her identity, and her freedom.
Leonora in the Morning Light is the story of a woman who turned trauma into transcendence, creating beauty from chaos and forging a legacy that changed the history of modern art, making her currently the highest-selling female British artist.
After the film there will be a 30m Q&A featuring the directors of the film -- Thor Klein and Lena Vurma -- and Dawn Henderby, Arts Officer with Dumfries + Galloway Council.

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.

Niki’s safecracking work threatens his budding romance with Ruthie and pulls him into increasingly dangerous territory. Blending romance, drama, and the taut suspense of a heist thriller, TUNER also features performances from Tony Award-winner Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz.
After a therapist's patient disappears into a dimension beyond reality, she must venture into the unknown to save him. Parsons' film is inspired by an urban legend, sparked by a creepy image posted online and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve (seen most recently in Sentimental Value).
“A brilliant and terrifying vision. Beautifully claustrophobic, intense, anguishing, and downright disturbing. The film delivers excellent world-building, breathtaking suspense, and truly earned scares. Renate Reinsve and Chiwetel Ejiofor are great, but the production design is the real standout.” – Courtney Howard (Fresh Friction)
