This year the Festival introduces EIFF Fan Club, conversations in which some of Scotland's best-known cultural figures select their favourite film talent to chat to.
On Sunday 22 August at 4pm the series starts with star percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie talking to Grammy award-winning composer David Arnold. In a conversation which ranges from creating soundscapes by beating coffins and rubbing glass rims with blood (Dracula) to the incredible physical impact music has on the body and the mind, the two world leading musicians swap tales and set challenges for film music in the future.
On Monday 23 August at 4pm celebrity chef Tony Singh meets breakout Bollywood star Radhika Apte. Tune in to hear them discuss Radhika's first film memories, their excitement about the return to cinemas, their shared love of food, and Scottish movies and memories.
On Tuesday 24 August at 4pm lead singer and lyricist of Travis, Fran Healy talks to the award-winning actor and director Daniel Brühl, known for his breakthrough role in Good Bye, Lenin!, who then went to work with directors such as Ron Howard and Quentin Tarantino. In their Fan Club conversation, they cover everything from early childhood cinema experiences, artistic choices they have made over the years and Marty McFly.
