The Boy in the striped Pyjamas
Thursday 28 August 19:30 (Tickets £10) Harman / UK / 2008

The Carnegie Festival has secured a very special screening of the long awaited release of "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" as the opening gala film at this year's festival.

Adapted from John Boyne's critically-acclaimed best-selling novel, "The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas" is an unforgettable story seen through the innocent eyes of Bruno, the eight year old son of the Kommandant at a concentration camp, who strikes up a strong friendship with a little boy on the other side of the fence in the forbidden place. This friendship with a Jewish boy has startling and unexpected consequences for them both.

A young woman steals $40,000 from her employer's client, and subsequently encounters a young motel proprietor too long under the domination of his mother. The infamous shower scene is hailed as one of cinema's scariest moments.

Odeon Kids Double Bill

Saturday 30 August 10:00 (Tickets £2.75)

A fantastic double bill featuring the classic sci-fi adventure E.T. and a special mystery screening which won't be revealed until the curtain is raised... not to be missed.

A welcome return to the big screen for the funny and exciting story of a boy who befriends a stranded 'extra-terrestrial'. One of the greatest blockbuster films of all time.

Special Late Night Screening

Kiefer Sutherland plays an ex-cop turned night security guard in a long-closed department store ravaged by fire. He discovers that the store's mirrors harbor a horrific secret which threatens both him and his family.

Screen Academy Showcase

The Screen Academy Showcase will provide insight into the work of leading young film-makers. The show reel of award-winning animation, drama and documentary shorts - directed by students from The Screen Academy at Edinburgh's Napier University and screened at international film festivals - will provide the prism for analysis by students at Carnegie College. Special screenings in the Fletcher Studio in Mediaspace will enable HNC and HND students in interactive multi-media creation, photography, acting and performance to critique the works from artistic, performance and technical perspectives. The show reel will also be rolled out later in the academic year for students in digital media computing and the dramatic arts.

Please note this is a closed event.

Special Pre-Festival Gala Event

Doug Allan and Sue Flood talk about their behind-the-scenes adventures working on the BBC/Discovery series 'Planet Earth'. This award-winning series took them from the Arctic, to the Antarctic, to the South Pacific - from freezing in -40C in the Arctic winter, to snorkelling in warm tropical waters. Discover what it takes to bring home amazing images from the field: from humpback whales in the South Pacific, to a polar bear mother emerging from her den with cubs in the Arctic.

Not to be missed.

Regarded as one of the World's leading documentary film makers, Murray Grigor will provide a rare insight into his work, film making and why Scotland continually produces great film directors. Look forward to an account of his book, completed in conjunction with Sir Sean Connery and his latest documentary film on the work of American Architect John Lautner. Murray will be signing copies of his latest book 'Sean Connery Being a Scot'.
