For the latest Scots Whay Hae! Podcast Ali spoke once again to Ann Campbell who is the Festival Director of the Dunoon Film Festival which this year runs between 8th - 10th May, and has the themes of 'Film, Food & Fun.
Ann talks about those themes and how the programme relates to them before the two go through just some of the highlights of this year's festival, which include The Orkney Dive which celebrates the sustainability and value of scallop diving and low-impact seafood in Scotland, the 1915 adaptation of Alice In Wonderland which will have a live music score from Paul Harrison and band, the Made In Argyll strand, a variety of short films, and so much more. And Ali gets excited about the Saturday night showing of The Breakfast Club and the promise of an '80s indie disco!
Ann also explains how the programme is put together, the childrens' programme, their relationships with schools and other institutions, the importance of local talent, and the partners who play a vital role in bringing the festival together. It's a warm and informative conversation which we hope will inspire you to take a trip doon the watter to attend what is one of the most varied and welcoming film festivals around.
