Small Islands Film Festival Isle of Islay

Columba Centre Bowmore Islay
For the second year in a row the Small Islands Film Festival will be held on Islay, at the Columba Centre in Bowmore (image right), on the 2nd and 3rd of October. This year, the year of homecoming, the Small Islands Film Festival will focus on the theme of ‘home’ and ‘homecoming’. They will present a packed programme of screenings and discussions of award-winning shorts, documentaries, drama-docs and rare archive films from the world’s island communities. Earlier in the year they explored their interpretation of ‘island homecoming’ from the perspective of ‘North and West’ with our third annual festival event that took place on the Isle of Benbecula, Western Isles, 19-21st June 2009. Now they wish to continue with their homecoming theme by returning to the island of Islay for their second contribution to this year’s 2009 Homecoming celebrations by staging a further festival event.
