S cottish film has had its ups and downs but right now it looks like we might be facing a resurgence of sorts. In the coming months we have Dexter Fletcher’s Sunshine on Leith, an adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s Filth and indie sleeper For Those in Peril all coming to cinema screens. And a little further down the line we can look forward to two other big name production: The Railway Man and Under the Skin, both of which were also shot in Scotland. Read more about these, plus all the other top autumn movie releases in this issue’s extended film special, starting on page 13.
