Edinburgh International Film Festival 2016

The Edinburgh International Film Festival (est.1947) is the longest continuously running film festival in the world showcasing UK, World and International premières from established and emerging film-makers from all over the world. It hosts a wide range of public screenings and education, talent development and industry-based activity for adults, young people and school-children. They are also a charity which depends on the support of cultural funders and international partners to make it happen.

The 70th Edition is a major celebration, and will feature special anniversary public events. The full programme includes over 130 premières, in-person Q+A events and outdoor film screenings, as well as industry-talent networking events with UK film distributors. 

AC/E supports the premieres of:
'To Steal a Thief' (Cien años de perdón)
Daniel Calparsoro's new Spanish-language crime thriller, 'To Steal a Thief' (Cien años de perdón). After the film there will be a Q+A with the director for ticket-holders.
About the film: A group of thieves led by a man called El Uruguayo stalk a bank in Valencia to steal as many safety boxes as possible and later flee through a dug tunnel that communicates the building with an abandoned subway station. However, the press officer of the Prime Minister discovers what the thieves are actually after: they want to get their hands on box 314, property of Gonzalo Soriano, a former member of the government who slipped into a coma after a severe accident.

 Mauro Herce’s new documentary, ‘Dead Slow Ahead’. After the film there will be a Q+A with the director for ticket-holders.
About the film: The freighter Fair Lady crosses the ocean. The hypnotic rhythm of its gears reveals the continuous movement of machinery devouring its workers: the last gestures of the old sailors' trade disappearing under the mechanic and impersonal pace of 21st century neocapitalism. Perhaps it is a boat adrift, or maybe just the last example of an endangered species. Although we don't know it, the engines are still running, unstoppable.
