In the last 13 days I’ve sat in 3 different venues, in 9 different screens, and watched 30 films at Edinburgh International Film Festival. It has been a great experience, especially the experience of conducting my first industry interview, with director Jeff Baena. Most of the films have been great, some have been mediocre and a couple were really quite awful. I’ve also been to the festival’s award ceremony and somehow found time to catch a few other films outside of the festival too. It’s been a challenging experience, proving hard to discipline myself into writing about every single film. Getting into the routine of writing about 3-6 films a day has been a tough but rewarding undertaking. My cinematic senses feel more finely tuned than ever and I have enjoyed the endless hours sat in the dark, experiencing what has been a diverse and rich programme of films. As life returns to normal and my eyes readjust to daylight, I can now look back over my time at the festival.
