Cannes Mania!

The Cannes Film Festival is almost here.

To celebrate, and as an appetiser for the return of our 33rd festival in November and December, we’re delighted to be working with the Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival to bring a bit of Cannes to you in Edinburgh on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 May.
