EIFF

Up at lunchtime to Summerhall to meet up with R&T who are up “doing” the festival. Makes a change (for them) from the Venice Biennale, dropping into Berlin, Lyon, Paxos etc etc. I reckon they had the conch for 78% of the time, us 22%, but it was all very enjoyable. 
Later, to the Omni for the opening of the Film Festival, with a showing of Aftersun, the debut full length feature from one Charlotte Wells. From Edinburgh, and born in 1987, same as my own daughter. A fictional reminiscence of a holiday with her dad at the age of eleven, it was absolutely superb. Can't praise it highly enough. And terrific acting by the young girl. Spell binding etc etc: that’s quite enough from me.
