In the immediate aftermath of WWII, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger combined a headstrong young woman, a dashing naval officer, and the wild Scottish landscape to create a film designed to transport an audience exhausted by war, food rationing and housing shortage.  It was a cinematic masterpiece and one of the 20th century’s most beguiling films.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Pressburger's grandsons and film-making heirs Kevin and Andrew Macdonald and chaired by Jamie Muir. Kevin's Oscar and award-winning films include One Day in September, Last King of Scotland, Touching the Void. Andrew is producer of Trainspotting (showing on Saturday), 28 Days Later, Shallow Grave, Ex Machina, Sunshine on Leith and founder of DNA films. Jamie worked with Martin Scorsese on new documentary Made in England: the films of Powell and Pressburger.

An extraordinary weekend to see these two iconic films, on the big screen, fully digitally remastered, in the company of two contemporary cinema giants and Pressburger descendants.
