Film School – The Story of Film: An Odyssey (week 3)
We were delighted to previously screen this film but we have no current plans to screen it again. If you'd like to watch it in the cinema, consider a private hire to watch it with friends. That does rely on the film being available for private purchase.

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 3: 1940s Post-war cinema – did war make cinema more daring, darker? And the 1950s – a story of sex and melodrama.
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.
To hear Mark Cousins talk about film is to be in love with Mark Cousins talking about film. A brilliant documentary.
