This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created.

Psalms of the people or Sailm nan Daoine invites audiences along on an intimate and heartfelt road trip which explores one of the most emotionally resonant and culturally significant musical traditions: Gaelic psalm singing.

Musician Rob MacNeacail embarks on a journey through Scotland and Ireland, following ancient paths that unravel threads of music and ideas. The pilgrimage brings up many questions in Rob’s mind about identity, culture and community as he immerses the audience in a new perspective through his music and portable sound recorder.

Rob also composes the soundtrack to the film, incorporating melodies, field recordings and musical encounters he makes along the way. The combination of harmonium, whistle, guitar and synthesised drones give the music a futuristic tone, whilst being steeped in tradition. A recording of a supermarket freezer in Broadford becomes the soundscape for a futuristic rendition of the Ossianic Ballad, Duan na Ceàrdaich.

Spoken part in English, part in Gaelic, the film approaches psalm singing not as an artefact or historical curiosity, but as something communal and fiercely alive.

We are pleased to be joined by Rob MacNeacail and filmmaker Jack Archer for a post-film Q&A before audiences are invited to participate themselves in the collective power of psalm singing with an introductory workshop led by Rob himself.

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel and filmed in the North-East, Night & Day is an un-romantic comedy about the passionate astronomer, Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage.

Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humorous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy.
