Tickets are now on sale for the Scottish premiere The Boy and the Suit of Lights + Q&A with filmmaker Inma de Reyes.
Marking de Reyes' debut, the film won the Grand Jury Award for International First Feature at Sheffield DocFest 2024 -an observational documentary unfolding in a 16th-century Spanish town where tradition collides with modernity.
The story follows young Borja, whose grandfather once dreamed of becoming a bullfighter. Now, he places that dream on Borja’s shoulders, hoping the boy will carry forward a tradition that is increasingly seen as a relic of a bygone era, but perhaps the only path to lift their family out of poverty.
With rare, intimate access to Borja's family, director Inma de Reyes captures the tension between honouring the past and facing an uncertain future, portraying three generations with striking compassion and empathy.
We're collaborating with Scottish Doc Institute on this screening, part of their DocScreen initiative run in partnership with Filmhouse Edinburgh and supported by Film Hub Scotland.
📍 Saturday 12 July | 6pm followed by a 30 minute conversation with Inma de Reyes
