Black Box Shorts 1: Surfaces and Layers
Date	Location
Perception is a journey through textures. The films in this programme present the range of perceptual possibilities that can be created through techniques of duplication and layering, and explorations of surfaces and textures.

The screening features a special double 16mm projection by Daïchi Saïto, and includes films by… View full details and ticket info

Date	Location
Something just doesn't feel right … This programme brings together a diverse selection of experimental films that all deal in some way with feelings of unease, be it through formal uncertainties, mysterious environments or uncanny happenings.

Black Box Shorts 3: Passing Through
Date	Location
Evocative journeys through mountain pathways and city streets. Six films from Canada, Austria, the Netherlands, and the USA that offer very different perspectives on bodily trajectories through new and uncertain territories.

Black Box Shorts 4: Particles

Where nature and science collide.

Moving from the poetic to the hypnotic, from the figurative to the abstract, and from calm to chaos, this programme… View full details and ticket info

International Animation
Date	Location
This screening allows you to catch up with a selection of the best animation from around the globe, and sees a welcome return to Edinburgh of the work of Don Hertzfeldt, who was our guest in 2009. Animation derives its name from the Latin ‘anima’ – which describes the soul. The creation of that life essence through the illusion of animation is even more fascinating when the loss of that animating principle is explored, as happens in many of the films presented here.

McLaren Animation 1

Join us in celebrating the best British animation this year. All the films are in competition for the coveted McLaren Award, named in honour of Stirling’s Norman McLaren, a genius of film who dazzled the world with his innovative experiments in animation and synthetic sound for over half a century.

All are competing for the prestigious McLaren Award, recognising the internationally treasured Norman McLaren whose passion for movement drove his 50-year career as an innovator of animated film.

Rosalinda + Everybody Says Long Live Bobby Holly
Date	Location
These two short films highlight the richness of recent South American cinema. From one of Argentina’s most important new directors, Rosalinda is not only an original meditation on Shakespeare’s As You Like It, but a rich and enjoyable work that sustains a brisk comic tempo within a mellow, sunlit atmosphere. Everybody Says Long Live Bobby Holly is an ingenious and farcical fake rockumentary chronicling the achievements of an unknown giant of Uruguayan music. View full details and ticket info
21 Jun 9.45pm 22 Jun 9.30pm Part of Edinburgh International Film Festival: Looking South	Filmhouse, Edinburgh

Short Films 1: Identity and Revolution
Date	Location
A compelling testament to documentary film’s ability to explore the complex, interrelated dialogue that exists between the present and past. The core focus of this programme investigates how the individual orients and defines itself in reaction to collective, shared history and the fragments of the past half remembered, invented or fabricated by themselves and others. How does this refracted burden define how we conceive ourselves in the present? Fragments of family Super 8 films, found… View full details and ticket info

Short Films 2: Dream Machine
Date	Location
An alchemical selection boasting superstitious, absurd and folkloric elements. These films are united in a shared engagement with a process of creative salvage and the incantation of magical elements. Drawing upon vintage film formats, found film and a keen aesthetic imagination, they boast dark tales of sacrificial offerings, alchemists, mystical Scottish folklore and a stunning twist upon the classic vampire archetype.
