A phrase that started as a bit of a joke has come to mean much more: not just a return, but a reaffirmation. After another challenging year, we’re proud to be here once more, thanks to the dedication of our team, the support we’ve received, and the continuing appetite for the kind of cinema we love to share.

This year’s programme explores the many meanings of being “back”, from cultural revival to political resistance and artistic persistence. With films from Spain, Colombia, Portugal, Scotland, and the Philippines, we invite you to journey with us across continents and stories that echo with rhythm, resilience, and reinvention.

Our friends from Sabor al Toque will be serving up delicious Colombian street food before the screening. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Content warnings (e.g. strobe effects) will be listed in the programme.

📅 20th September – Doors open at 7:30pm, screening begins at 8:00pm.
📍 St Peter’s Church Hall, Lutton Place, Edinburgh EH8 9PE
