23 AUG–20 SEP YOU’VE GOT 29 DAYS TO LIVE! A few months after it was screened in the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Berberian Sound Studio is back in cinemas, giving a second chance to see what happens behind the scenes when you’re soundtracking an Italian giallo slasher movie. Read an interview with Toby Jones in our Autumn Film Special, which starts on page 13.
There’s also a day of local music (either freshly formed in the past year or 100% brand new) happening in Glasgow, brought by the ever- curious Cry Parrot promoters. See our preview of Music Language, page 65. Meanwhile over at the People’s Palace, an exhibition explores the non-naff side of the Scottish souvenir, see page 22.

Autumn film special Summer’s fading slowly; the nights are getting longer and the temperature is dropping. We reckon the best course of action it is to retreat to the safety of the local picture house and catch a couple of the hotly- anticipated movies coming your way in the near future. Grab yourself a bucket of popcorn and turn to page 13 to see what’s in store.
