Monday 6th
ELECTRIC MALADY
School 2, St Salvator's Quad
6:15PM | Free entry.

How do you get off the grid when the grid id now everywhere? Artist and filmmaker Marie Lidén invites audiences into the isolated world of William, a young man who's spent a decade reluctantly retreating from modern life. Hidden in a foil-encased bedroom, beneath layers of copper-lined fabric, William speaks open to Lidén about suffering from the condition known as electrosensitivity. Shot partly with a hand-cranked Bolex camera, what emerges is a lyrical and empathetic portrait of loneliness and isolation - and a loving family's efforts to save their son's life.

Director: Marie Lidén | Running Time: 1h24 | Rating: 15

FIRE OF LOVE
Aikman's Bar (Cellar), Bell Street

Katia and Maurice Krafft loved two things - each other and volcanoes. For two decades, the daring French volcanologist couple roamed the planet, chasing eruptions and documenting their discoveries. Ultimately, they lost their lives in a 1991 volcanic eruption, leaving a legacy that forever enriched our knowledge of the natural world. Fire of Love tells a story of primordial creation and destruction, following two bold explorers as they venture into the unknown, all for the sake of loved.
