Councillors to classify Aberdeen films for city film festival

A teenage girl’s desperate search around Tokyo for her missing grandmother’s bird, an unemployed trawlerman’s theft of scrap metal, and a woman who lives for ever.

These are just some of the themes of stories which will be told at a Granite City film festival.

It’s not as famous as the international spectacles that are Sundance and Venice, but the Aberdeen Film Festival is committed to focusing on some of the most talented independent movie makers.

And, next week, councillors on the licensing committee will be asked to approve age ratings for the films before they are screened.

Ranging in length from nearly two hours to shorts of only two minutes, the diverse offerings feature a huge variety of different genres.

One is a documentary exploring the 2014 mystery where 22 birds of prey, including 16 red kites, were found dead on the Black Isle.

Committee convener Scott Carle said: “We are usually given a synopsis of what the film is about and whether it has anything like nudity or drugs that might require it to have a higher classification.

“It’s for films that haven’t been classified elsewhere.”

The festival will be hosted by Arts Centre Theatre on 33 King Street, Aberdeen between October 17 and 20.

A spokesman for ACT said: “We hope that as many people as possible come along and enjoy the Aberdeen Art Festival .

“We are hopeful that, as the festival grows, we will attract an even greater range of talent to Aberdeen and we are delighted to host it.”
