Andrew Miller: The Waiting Place
Date	Location
Andrew Miller's contribution to the Edinburgh Art Festival is the pavilion itself, intended as a tribute to those small buildings (pavilions, bothies, follies, gazebos) that are built for no one particular purpose. It's a playful summerhouse designed to be multi-purpose, good for hosting discussions, talks and tours and simply for being somewhere to hang out while you're waiting to meet people. The title is from Dr Seuss's classic Oh The Place You'll Go. Part of Edinburgh Art Festival. View full details

Annie Hall
Date	Location
Two decades before Sex And The City had its first orgasm, Annie Hall was laying bare the mores of modern, urban romance to devastating effect while also zoning in on the specific psyche of Allen Konigsberg: anti-Semitic paranoia, metaphysical angst, the search for true love. There's a highly charged on-screen electricity between Allen and Keaton, glorious vistas of the old New York and hilarious set pieces – Alvy fighting with lobsters, the scene of his childhood home below the rollercoaster… View full details
