The third Central Scotland Documentary Festival will once again be hosted by Macrobert Arts Centre this year.
Running from October 10-14, the festival will feature some of the most promising and exciting new documentaries. Not only will there be screenings of the documentaries themselves, but there will also be opportunities to meet some of the directors during talks and Q&A sessions.
This will be the third Central Scotland Documentary Festival ever hosted. Grahame Reid, the head curator and programmer for the event, has promised to keep the festival as “affordable as possible.”
Tickets are available at £2.50, £5.50 or £8.50 (depending on the amount of events visitors wish to attend). Some events will also be free of charge and there will be an all-access granted festival pass on sale for £25.
