MUSIC: FOUND / Tokamak / Lipsync For A Lullaby Main Hall, 12 Aug, 8.00pm £10 Ten Tracks, l’Institut Français d’Écosse and Summerhall present part one of two events dedicated to the cinéconcert format – the creation and performance of new soundtracks to existing films of the musicians’ choice. FOUND, Tokamak and Lipsync for a Lullaby’s styles contrast, but all of them share a creativity and intensity, which suits accompaniment to film. Influenced by the French pioneers of the cinéconcert, this concert unveils the films to which these three Scottish bands are developing live soundtracks for full cinéconcert performances later in the year. The night will feature a sneak preview of scenes from the forthcoming project, as well as straight up performances of their existing, celebrated work to live visuals.

This August Summerhall presents a programme of films that embrace the weird and wonderful, featuring surreal worlds, eccentric characters and alternative road trips.

ANIMAL MAGNETISM It is often said that those with depression can gain solace from their relationships with animals. Winston Churchill referred to his bouts of depression as his 'black dog', and in Rebecca Hunt's story the dog is made flesh in the form of a massive black hound with the power of speech. Cornelius Medvei's Caroline is a donkey whose meeting with a tired elderly man gives his life a splendidly peculiar and moving Indian summer. Meet two young authors with Dr Doolittle tendencies.
