MUSIC Southern Exposure
Another year and another excellent Edinburgh International Film Festival is upon us. From the opening night movie Puzzle (starring Kelly Macdonald), to the closing night bash Swimming with Men (aka ‘The Full Monty in speedos’, above), there’s a host of treats in between. Among them are Kevin Macdonald’s documentary Whitney, the RSNO live-soundtracking Jaws, a terrifying trip to the Highlands in Calibre, and, of course, the long-awaited sequel to The Incredibles. See feature, page 21. Various venues, Edinburgh, Wed 20 Jun–Sun 1 Jul. Summerhall lays on another strong outdoor music programme with shows from Portico Quartet, the Rezillos (pictured) and a Skids / Big Country double- header, while there’s also a beer festival, ceilidh and screening of classic doc, Monterey Pop. See feature, page 44. Summerhall, Edinburgh, Fri 15–Sun 24 Jun.
