Best of the Fest
Film Festival director Hannah McGill picks out her personal favourites from this year's programme
Bananaz
In this UK movie premiere, ex-Blur frontman Damon Albarn gets together with comic illustrator Jamie Hewlett to tell the story of the virtual band Gorillaz.
Shot over seven years by Ceri Levy, this very entertaining film charts the band's rise to worldwide fame and features Dennis Hopper and De La Soul.
Man on Wire
At its European premiere, this film tells the story of one of the most audacious stunts of all time – how Philippe Petit came to walk a high wire, 1368 feet above the ground, between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York.
Fear(s) of the Dark
Also a premiere, this creepy horror film is a collaboration by a host of artists.
Comic book legends such as Charles Burns bring their childhood night time terrors to life in this animated black and white creation that features a Japanese schoolgirl menaced by a long-dead samurai and a pack of hounds on the rampage.
