Angele and Tony are not an obvious romantic couple; theirs will never be one of the great love stories. Yet anchored by two refreshingly naturalistic performances and a cleverly constructed narrative, this gently paced drama leads to a surprisingly heartwarming and strangely satisfying conclusion.Angel and TonyFEATURES - INTERNATIONALUK PREMIEREFEATURE - UKEUROPEAN PREMIEREGaby Dellal/Canada/2011/93 minCast: Thomas Dekker, Lynn Collins, Elizabeth McGovern, Joseph Morgan, Jeremy Piven, Mira Sorvino, Kate WalshSUN 19 JUNE 20:00 CAMEO 1PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONC)Based on a book by Leslie Schwartz, Gaby Dellal directs this indie drama which deals with a momentary lapse of judgment that has wider repercussions for a close knit community.

This presentation of short films from around the globe explores some of those less well traversed extremes, with some inspiring animation techniques therein. Mingling amongst this variety of narratives, with a rich tapestry of ideas, are some purely visual spectacles.Animated Extremes All That Heaven Allows1918.06.11 - 19.06.11 FESTIVALHOUSE @ TEVIOT, 13 BRISTO SQUARE.smarttestdrives.co.uk>> TAKE A TEST DRIVE WITH A DIFFERENCE.ANIMATED INTERACTIONS - FIXING LUKAfeature filmsNOKIA SHORTS WEEKENDERShorts programme/74 minWED 22 JUNE 17:45 GEORGE SQ THEATREPRICE: £6.00 (£5.00 CONC)This collection of international animated films revels in tropes of fairytale, fable and mythology to tell imaginative tales. Animation is a brilliant medium for encapsulating parables and legends in short form. This programme features a fisherman capturing matter itself, an impatient groom lost in the desert, a world where gravity is a law unto itself, an invention that goes awry, odd natural histories, a malevolent spirit in the woods, and the memory of a vanished settlement.Animated MythologiesSTRANDPREMIERE TYPEShorts programme/70 minSAT 25 JUNE 18:00 GEORGE SQ THEATREPRICE: £6.00 (£5.00 CONC)For many filmmakers, animation provides a chance to fulfil the desire to become an actor without having to stand up personally in front of a live audience. These shorts use performance to narrate stories concerned with the human condition, from navigating interpersonal skills to building a sense of community. This international selection brings the uncontrollable grief of a little girl, the events of one day of the week, school crushes, road rage, family relationships, dysfunctional neighbours and the murderous impulse.Animated InteractionsNOKIA SHORTS WEEKENDERNOKIA SHORTS WEEKENDERShorts programme/70 minFRI 24 JUNE 18:00 GEORGE SQ THEATREPRICE: £6.00 (£5.00 CONC)Reality documented through animation.Animated Realitites is a a two-day conference exploring the increasingly popular form of animated documentary, in association with Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Edinburgh's Animating Realities. From the thoughts of a child of a holocaust survivor; a tender memoir of the death of a parent; an overwhelming account of Argentinian grandmothers searching for their lost grandchildren, to the delightful memory of a mother's fur coat, a demonstration of American architecture and an insight into Arabic culture, we present seven short films that use the genre brilliantly to varying degrees and effect.Animated RealitiesREEL SCIENCEJames Cameron/USA/1985/107 minCast: Arnold Schwarzernegger, Linda HamiltonTUE 21 JUNE 15:00 FILMHOUSE 3PRICE: £9.00 (£7.50 CONC)Can robots really have rational thought?Year 2029 and mankind's victory against a deadly computer system called Skynet is down to the actions of one man: John Connor, the leader of the Human Resistance. In an attempt to quash the resistance, Skynet deploys an indestructible cyborg in human form, the Terminator, through time to kill Sarah Connor, before she can give birth to her son John. Using one of the most iconic uses of Artificial Intelligence in film as a starting point, EIFF and the Edinburgh School of Informatics explore in a lively discussion whether rational thought is mechanically possible.Artificial Intelligence: The Terminator |
