“Criticised for its fantasy portrait of Scotland, Brigadoon’s gorgeous backdrops were painted by an Edinburgh man. Its theme of city versus country is romantic and lush.”
Americans Jeff and Tommy, hunting in Scotland, stumble upon a village – Brigadoon. They soon learn that the town appears once every 100 years in order to preserve its peace and special beauty. The citizens go to bed at night and when they wake up, it’s 100 years later. Tommy falls in love with a beautiful young woman, Fiona, and is torn between staying or going back to his hectic life in New York.
This film will be shown as part of our In Dreams weekend, taking place from 13th to 15th March 2026. Mark Cousins, renowned filmmaker and creator of imaginative events, will be our first guest curator, programming a magical weekend of films and surprises centred around the theme of dreams and dreaming.
