6:30pm - 8:30pm (Doors 6:00pm)

Hands down the best Scottish film of 2020 (and perhaps the decade), Limbo concludes our Sunday night film viewing. Set in an unnamed Scottish island (actual location North Uist), this moving dark comedy follows the journey of Syrian Omar as he awaits the result of his asylum request. Although set far from Edinburgh and Leith, director Ben Sharrock and actor Amir El-Masry (who plays Omar) visited Multi-Cultural Family Base in Leith to consult with some of the Syrian men in their Men’s Wellbeing Group before production started. Speakers from Multi-Cultural Family Base will be on hand to talk about their involvement before the film.

Limbo will be preceded by short documentary Isle of Us, directed by Laura Wadha which follows the real-life story of a Syrian barber making a new life for himself and his family on the Isle of Bute.

All Tickets are Name-Your-Price on Citizen Tickets. Spaces are limited to allow for social distancing.

We are delighted to bring back this archive screening of the 1988 documentary film Leithers by Alistair Scott, exploring life in Leith in the 1980s, on the Sunday afternoon of our micro-film festival. LeithLate first screened the hugely popular Leithers in 2019 with Cinetopia at Leith Theatre to a sold out audience. The film documents the people who lived and worked in Leith during the eighties and examines the changing socio-economic landscape of Leith at that time.

The film screening will be introduced by film-maker Alistair Scott, Associate Professor of Film & TV at Edinburgh Napier University and followed by a short panel discussion after the film about Leith's past, present and future.

All Tickets are Name-Your-Price on Citizen Tickets. Spaces are limited to allow for social distancing.

Oran Na Mara is the Scottish Gaelic title for the beautiful Irish, animated, fantasy-film released in 2014, Song of the Sea. BBC Alba has dubbed many animations in an attempt to share, revive and regenerate Scottish Gaelic, which after years of suppression and dominance of the English language, was classified in 2018 as ‘Definitely Endangered’. In Leith we see a revival of the language through the growing community surrounding Taobh na Pairce on Bonnington. Fàilte one and all! In Gaelic with English subtitles.

The feature will be preceded by short animations from Edinburgh-based artist Cat Bruce, including award-winning No Place Like Home. Cat will be joining us to introduce her work.

Edinburgh based singer-songwriter, Kirsten Adamson, opens up the early evening’s events with an intimate live music performance. Kirsten Adamson is a songwriter of real depth with an extraordinarily versatile voice which elevates her honest lyrics and lays them gently on top of gorgeously simple melodies. Kirsten will be singing new songs, as well as a selection of covers from her father’s band Big Country which she has been rediscovering throughout lockdown.

Then Big Country will take to the big screen, as they provide the soundtrack to Edinburgh cult classic Restless Natives. The Scottish-cinema-adventure-comedy Restless Natives was released in 1985 and follows the story of two joke shop staff changing careers to hold up buses in the Highlands. Produced by EMI Film.

Always a hit with audiences, the live music element will elevate this event to epic proportions.

All Tickets are Name-Your-Price on Citizen Tickets. Spaces are limited to allow for social distancing.

Choose Life is a groundbreaking BBC Scotland documentary produced by Two Rivers Media. The film examines 1980s Edinburgh, during the decade the city had the unenviable title of ‘the AIDS capital of Europe’. Featuring interviews with some of the key community members caught up in the pandemic, Choose Life provides an informative and unflinching view of Edinburgh and Leith from a time that subsequently gave birth to its notorious Trainspotting reputation.

Members of the Two Rivers Media production team will be present for a Q&A after the film.

Saturday kicks off with archive screening Coming Out, an STV documentary of Edinburgh queer life in the 80s and broadcast in 1983. The film crucially also provides a tantalising glimpse of Edinburgh’s first queer bookshop Lavendar Menace, while it was operating in Forth Street.

The film was a direct influence on playwright James Ley when he was developing his award-winning production Love Song To Lavender Menace, which has been performed around the world and at the Edinburgh Fringe. Lavender Menace founders Bob Orr and Sigrid Nielsen will join James Ley and representatives of the LGBT Centre for Health and Wellbeing for a conversation after the film.

Includes spoken word performance from Gray Crosbie.

In Harmonic Spectrum, Sean uses the piano to navigate life on the Autistic Spectrum and this beautiful short shadows his creative journey. Shot in the Pianodrome while it was situated in Leith Theatre in 2019 - look hard and you might see LeithLate setting up for a Moon Party in the background :)

This film is nominated for a BAFTA, announced the following day so fingers crossed! with the organisation.
