BIG PICTURE TAKE ONE ACTION! In these darkened times, it’s often hard to conceive of a ‘kinder, fairer and more sustainable world’ ever coming to pass. But while groups such as Take One Action! exist, hope will still thrive. This year marks the tenth edition of their film festival, the initial aim of which was to show cinema from across the world that hailed the everyday hero. Among the films on this year’s menu are Disturbing the Peace, in which former enemy combatants across the Israeli- Arab divide seek common ground; A Revolution in Four Seasons, concerning parallel lives of very different Turkish women; and An Insignificant Man (pictured), which chronicles the rise of Arvind Kejriwal, a man known as ‘the Bernie Sanders of India’. Glasgow Film Theatre & Filmhouse, Edinburgh, Wed 13–Sun 24 Sep.
