The festival takes place annually at CCA Glasgow, online, on the streaming platform Klassiki, and for the first time this October in Edinburgh. With a diverse programme of meticulously curated retrospectives and new films, as well as special events (online panel discussions, silent films with a score performed live, showcases of short films).
