Where You’re Meant to Be (15)
Friday 17 – Monday 20 June
Running time: 1h15m
“Scottish cult pop raconteur Aidan Moffat, best known for his songs about sex, drugs and male anxiety, decides to rewrite his country’s oldest songs. The only thing standing in his way is Sheila Stewart, travelling folk royalty, and Scotland’s most celebrated balladeer. Moffat believes these songs are ripe for re-working. Sheila does not. In following both Moffat’s folk tour around Scotland and his prickly encounters with Sheila, Paul Fegan’s funny and warm documentary taps into the power of Scottish music to bring communities together, and the fierce passion it provokes.”
