Sherlock @ Southside Film Festival

On Saturday evening there will be a full night of Sherlock Holmes organised by the 'Sherlock Holmes Society of Scotland' (who are Southsiders). It's a really good line up and with the recent movies and tv series, here's great chance to see three further alternate presentations of the consulting detective.

Part one will screen Reichenbach Falls including an introduction and Q&A with writer James Mavor and actor Alec Newman. Followed by two Sherlock Silents, The Mystery of Leaping Fish and Sherlock Jr

Runs from 7pm - 10pm at The Shed on Langside Avenue and shaping up to be a pretty good evening of entertainment for just £6.

"Reichenbach Falls is an action-packed psychological thriller examining the complex relationship between character and creator. DI Jim Buchan is a cop on the edge, Jack Harvey is a successful crime writer with the world at his feet. In Reichenbach Falls, these two former friends are thrown together when a 100-year-old body is discovered beneath the streets of Edinburgh.

The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (25mins) stars Douglas Fairbanks as Coke Ennyday, a scientific detective, loosely based on Holmes, who discovers a contraband of opium (which he eagerly tastes) transported with “Leaping Fishes”... You get the idea, this is a bizarre viewing experience and not what you normally expect from Douglas Fairbanks!

Sherlock Junior (45mins), written, directed, produced and starring Buster Keaton as a love struck detective/projectionist, is not to be missed! This version of this silent comedy classic has a jazzy score from Carl Davis."
