Big success for Donkeys.
Morag McKinnon's grim comedy Donleys has scooped the top prize at this year's Scottish BAFTAs, as well as picking up a Best Actor gong for star James Cosmo. Peter Mullen won Best Director and Best Writer for Neds, but the favourites were pipped at the post when it came to the Audience Award, which, in a surprise turn of events, went to Carter Ferguson's indie debut Fast Romance.
I Love Luci took Best Short Film, while the award for Best Documentary went to Terry Pratchett: Choosing To Die, already highly acclaimed at festivals. Robbie Coltrane...

When Gordon Boyd (William Ruane), an unorganised postman who may – at a stretch – qualify as the main character, comes across a pen bearing the brand Fast Romance outside the address of Nadine (Jo Freer), a customer he fancies, he decides to give the service a go in the hope of winning her affections. Forced into taking boss Mr. You’d-Better-Call-Me-Kenny Cairnes (Derek Munn) with him, Boyd is joined at the event by a timid copy-girl, a begrudgingly dutiful bride-to-be,...

The 65th Edinburgh International Film Festival has revealed the first titles from this year’s British section of the programme, including several world premieres.
Nine British and Irish films were announced in the press release ahead of the full programme launch later this month, and represent how the Edinburgh International Film Festival will continue to be a cutting-edge platform for UK film.
James Mullighan, director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival, said of the films selected:
