Hassan Nazer’s Winners (Barandeha): Produced by Scot Paul Welsh and Scottish Uzbek Nadira Murray this film is set in a deprived area of a small Iranian town where children are required to work to help support their families - nine-year-old Yahya is one such child, his little hands scouring through massive piles of junk in search of hidden treasures.

The Sacred Family (La Sagrada Familia): Glasgow-based Borja Alcalde’s debut feature documentary is a visually intoxicating emotional journey to the heart of what holds a family together or breaks them apart, set in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in Peru.

Morven Caller: Glaswegian Lynne Ramsay’s second feature based on Scot Alan Warner’s award-winning novel stars Samantha Morton as the titular character celebrates its 20th Anniversary with a 35mm retrospective screening. Shot in Oban and sunny Almería, this is hallucinatory homegrown cinema gilded with a soundtrack of electronica and art-rock gems.

Don Coutts’ Heading West: The story of Shooglenifty is an uplifting gem for fans old and new of the Edinburgh band which showcases the past, present and future of the Acid-croft music pioneers in a World Premiere presentation.

Kristy Matheson, Creative Director of EIFF says: “Cinema is a magical time traveling machine that allows us to see the world but as Dorothy reminds us in the Wizard of Oz, ‘there’s no place like home.’ This year at EIFF, we’re proud to showcase local talents and stories across an array of programming. Our congratulations and sincere thanks to this talented group of Scottish born and based artists for sharing their stories with us.”

Other films with Scottish talent and settings in this year's EIFF programme include Dougie Irvine’s Yoyo & The Little Auk, screening at Filmhouse as part of the Special Events programme and in celebration of Scotland’s Stories on Screen for Scotland’s Year of Stories 2022.
