Mystery, intrigue, beauty, passion, murder – shine a new light on Caravaggio in this dramatic biography…
Five years in production, this is the most extensive film ever made about one of the greatest artists of all time – Caravaggio. Featuring masterpiece after masterpiece and with first-hand testimony from the artist himself on the eve of his mysterious disappearance, this beautiful new film reveals Caravaggio as never before.
Multi-award-winning filmmakers David Bickerstaff and Phil Grabsky delve into the hidden narratives of Caravaggio’s life, piecing together clues embedded within his incredible art. The intriguing self-depictions within his works — sometimes disguised, sometimes in plain sight — offer a rare window into his psyche and personal struggles. Join us as we unravel the story of one of history’s most brilliant, complex and controversial figures.

📖📚🎞Book Week Scotland returns to the Robert Burns Centre in November with local author Karl Drinkwater 🎞📚📖
Karl is an author of a sci-fi series and at the core of the whole series is the friendship between two women (often just talking to each other over a distance). Karl also did a creative writing session on the topic of friendship in March 2023. This evening's event will relate to Karl’s writing on friendship as this is covered in many of his stories, not just the sci-fi ones. Karl: "the best romances are ones where the leads are also obviously great friends, in turn with each other, challenging each other, pushing each other."
Karl chose 'Before Sunrise' for screening alongside his talk the first film in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy. In Before Sunrise Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) meet on a Euro rail train and disembark in Vienna to spend the night together.
Tickets for the event are free with funding provided by Book Week Scotland.
Michel and Cathy, wed for longer than they can remember, lead a quiet but monotonous life in the mountains. When a bear bursts out in front of Michel’s car, accidentally killing two drug dealers and revealing a €2 million loot in the process, their life takes an unpredictable turn, especially when they decide to cover up the incident and keep the money! But their plan leads them to stumble upon an unexplained trail of dead bodies. More used to being honest than crooked, Michel and Cathy’s clumsy cover-up efforts soon put an interfering inspector hot on their trail. Starring Franck Dobosc and Laure Calamy. In French with English subtitles.
Screening as part of French Film Festival 2025.
