12 - 29 June 2023
the world’s first annual festival OF FOLK CINEMA
Curated by Transgressive North, the Folk Film Gathering is the world’s first folk film festival, screening films that celebrate the lived experiences of communities worldwide. Each annual edition explores the relationships between cinema and other traditional arts (such as oral storytelling and folk song), discovering what a folk cinema has been at moments throughout world film history, and how it may look in the future.
The theme of the 2023 Folk Film Gathering is solidarity, as expressed in particular as part of the conversation between Scottish and Ukrainian cinema within our core programme at Cameo Picturehouse.
Screenings and events will be online and in person at Cameo Picturehouse, Scottish Storytelling Centre and North Edinburgh Arts. Download the programme here and view the 2023 films here.
