Did you think this year’s Inverness Film Festival was the best ever?

The 14th Inverness Film Festival has set the bar higher than ever for future events, according to its organisers.

More than 2,600 tickets for the series at Eden Court, an impressive hike of more than 400 above last year’s results.

The event featured 56 screenings, including 24 Scottish and three UK premieres.

Highlights included the Scottish premiere of A United Kingdom plus the new German comedy Toni Erdman, which has received six nominations from the 2016 European Film Awards

There was a little bit of everything, from a five and a half hour screening of Abel Gance’s 1927 Napoleon to short films for under 5s, handpicked features and shorts from first time directors as well as an impressive number of high profile premieres from the likes of Spike Lee, Jim Jarmuch and Xavier Dolan.

Eden Court chief executive Colin Marr said: “The success of the festival is due to the quality of the programming and this year our festival director Paul MacDonald Taylor excelled himself with the number of premiers he attracted but also with his brilliant “Roof of the World Series”.

“Our audience loved the strand of films from Tibet, Nepal, Afghanistan and Mongolia – many of which had never been seen in this country before.

“He’s already started work on next year’s programme but has set himself a hard target to beat.”

Festival director Paul Macdonald-Taylor said: “Given the hundreds of film festivals in the UK it is a great privilege to be able to present films by these directors before anyone else in the country.”

The 2016 audience award went to The Eagle Huntress which was part of the Roof of the World strand of films.

The award was designed by the Hebrides based artist Steve Dilworth and each year the audience are the jury for the award that has so far ended up in three different continents
