Following on from the success of the first IF Intercultural Film
Showcase in October, The Lemon Tree are proud to present IF2 a unique
screening programme showcasing a selection of the finest short fiction
and documentary film emerging from across the UK. Films featuring in
the IF2 programme - the award-winning documentary by Sana Bilgrami
Under My Skin explores the lives of two immigrants, a dancer and a
poet. Rank, David Yates's terrific short fiction set in Glasgow, looks
at integration of asylum seekers into deprived areas of a city without
moralistic pontificating or sentimentality. Leila, a short fiction
based on the writers own experiences focuses on a young Iranian asylum
seeker who comes to live on a Scottish housing estate. Small Love, made
by Aberdeen production company Tern, tells the story of Esther, a
singer who suffers from mental health problems and Spike, a boy on the
run from an abusive home who ultimately find happiness and security in
each other. The award winning Curry and Irn Bru is a powerful
expression of young people's experiences of multicultural Glasgow. The
accent may be Glaswegian but the message is universal.
After IF2 please join us in St Ks bar.
