Edinburgh Film Twitter - where's the "best" screen to see Oppenheimer next week? Cameo doing a 35mm screening, Cineworld has Imax, but I'm never sure if it's remotely one of the good ones.
Missing Filmhouse, and it's 70mm, more than ever.

My first time attending @CelticMediaFest, it was a really good few days, in an exceptionally sunny Donegal. Scotland got some great Torc wins AND the International Pitch, and I got lots of interesting conversations and new connections. Great to be involved with @screenscots
