ABOUT the event

This year we are excited to be screening Amussu - a documentary following the courageous stand taken by an indigenous community in southeast Morocco against the encroachments of a multinational mining corporation.

Amussu celebrates the ways in which small actions combine into powerful collective resistance.

Made together with the community it documents, Amussu is a powerful testament to the power of each child, woman and man to together change the course of history.

This year's event has been curated by North Edinburgh Arts' Artist-in-Residence Samantha Dick.


ABOUT the Folk Film Gathering

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.​

Screenings and events will be online and in person at Cameo Picturehouse, the Scottish Storytelling Centre, and North Edinburgh Arts.
