Watch the trailer for stunning Scottish drama Harvest: The Skinny The Scottish landscape has rarely looked better on screen than in Athina Rachel Tsangari's woozy folk western Harvest. Take a look at the film's first trailer.

Wonderful to have Victoria Mapplebeck at #borderlines2025 on #iwd2025 with her film Motherboard. Filmed almost entirely on 6 generations of smartphone, it’s a moving, funny, honest and intimate account of bringing up her son Jim as a single parent. borderlinesfilmfestival.co.uk/film/motherb...

ON FALLING is a magnificent, timely film about the asset stripping of our souls that not only enriches its audience but also steels our resolve to rise up and to understand that we have nothing to lose but our mind chains. www.theguardian.com/film/2024/se...

β€˜You’re always on edge – it has consequences’: the extraordinary drama about working in an Amazon-style warehouse In On Falling, first time director Laura Carreira exposes the hardships and humiliations of a woman struggling to earn a living in a β€˜fulfilment centre’ in Glasgow

There’s one unedited shot in the film, she explains, that follows Aurora working in real time: β€œIt feels long and I’m thinking, β€˜That’s two minutes – this person is doing this 10 hours a day.’” – @lauracarreira.bsky.social in @theguardian.com
