Enjoying a festival from afar - reading about Edinburgh

Posted at 8:51 PM on June 18, 2009 by Euan Kerr (1 Comments)

The summer with all it's weekends away has always been a cinematic challenge for me. There are so many films, and what seems to be fewer evenings to go see them.

This year I have distracted myself by reading dispatches about the Edinburgh International Film Festival which just launched with some fanfare Alan Cumming and Sean Connery.

Sam Medes is there and granted a long interview to the Scotsman newspaper about "Away We Go."

It's fun to see some of the anticipated films have already been here, but also gives a heads up for other films out there. I am intrigued by the new film starring Ewen "Trainspotting" Bremnar and Ardal O'Hanlan called "Wide Open Spaces."

The weekends are looking full, but there will always be time for reading
