The film selection has been divided into 15 strands to make it easier for you to identify the films which most interest you. Within these strands are our ‘festivals within the festival:’ The Youth Film Festival, the Short Film Festival and the Music and Film Festival, co-curated with our friends at the Arches.
Each film listing is colour coded and signposted with its appropriate strand throughout the website and printed programme.
