Green Film Festival - 2024 Programme
Monday February 5th
Together We Cycle
School III, St Salvator's Quad
7pm | Free Entry
In a world increasingly dominated by cars, the bold vision of Together We Cycle, directed by Arne Gielen, examines the unique conditions that led to the revival of Dutch cycling culture. A story of unified urban action that resulted in the preservation of cycling, elevated by camerawork that allows the motion of the city to speak for itself.
Tuesday February 6th
A Year in a Field
Aikmans
7:45pm | Free Entry
Richard Morris’s film is a contemplative vigil of a standing stone in a Cornish field as it weathers a year of climate change and the human condition. With no interviews, no humans, no overblown carbon-generating production, A Year in a Field encourages us to take a breath and reflect on the planetary impacts of our brief human existence.
Friday February 9th
The Eight Mountains
School III, St Salvator's Quad
7pm | Free Entry
Based on the novel of the same name by Paolo Cognetti, The Eight Mountains is a reflective drama piece that chronicles the ever-growing relationship between two men, formerly childhood friends, who reconnect in the Italian Alps. Light-hearted yet intimate, this film has stunning landscapes and a story that is truly beautiful to watch.
Saturday February 10th
EO
Byre Theater
7:30pm | £6 (pay what you can)
Directed by Jerzy Skolimowski, this 2022 Polish-Italian drama film follows the life of a former circus donkey. Alternately endearing and heart-rending, EO truly tugs at your heartstrings with its offbeat narrative, furthered by dramatic cinematography and sound design. The movie is followed by a 20 minute Q&A with guest speaker Dr. Robin Mackenzie.
