at The White House Kitchen (70 Niddrie Mains Rd, Edinburgh EH16 4BG)

Ratcatcher (1999) Debut film by Scottish director and writer Lynne Ramsay. It's Glasgow in 1973 and young James' world is changing - he's growing up.

James Gillespie (William Eadie) is 12 years old. The world he knew is changing. Haunted by a secret, he has become a stranger in his own family. He is drawn to the canal where he creates a world of his own. He finds an awkward tenderness with Margaret Anne (Leanne Mullen), a vulnerable 14 year old expressing a need for love in all the wrong ways, and befriends Kenny (John Miller), who possesses an unusual innocence in spite of the harsh surroundings.

The Local Cinema film programme has been funded by the City of Edinburgh Council via the Creative Community Hubs Network, which brings together eight building-based hubs who are engaging with their local communities in creative ways across Edinburgh. This is the first shared creative programme produced by the hubs network to date, in a pilot project entitled the Community Cinema Hubs Project that is hoped will be extended more widely across Edinburgh into the future.

Please contact screening venues directly for more information and to reserve tickets for all other individual screenings.
