Scottish filmmaking is enjoying a renaissance, with more than 5 films by Scots to be released in the next 5 weeks – many linked by unconventional plots and narratives. “Ultimately, it is this subversive streak that unites so many Scottish film directors, whether they are making films about oil magnates, public schoolboys, London gangsters, or Hebridean islanders determined to outwit the English Home Guard captain and make off with the whisky.” – The Herald (Scotland) 05/25/00
