Film School – The Story of Film: An Odyssey (week 2)

As the nights draw in, expand your mind and your watchlist with Mark Cousins’ epic, groundbreaking history of international cinema shown in eight weekly instalments. It has been described as a ‘love letter’ to the movies and is extraordinary in its range, focussing on cinematic innovation and featuring
exclusive interviews with legendary filmmakers and a dizzying wealth of film clips. The whole film is 15 hours long, so we’ll be showing two chapters per week, culminating in the final chapter accompanied by a talk with Mark Cousins live from Edinburgh.

Week 2: 1920s/30s– a golden age of world cinema, new genres and the revolutionary arrival of sound.

We are also excited to announce that Mark Cousins will be Cromarty Cinema’s first guest curator, devising an exciting weekend event for us over 13th – 15th March, 2026.
