The following tweets are arranged from earliest to latest. Fuller details of the films I mention are given at the end. I'm @jonclayden, by the way.
Got a four-day weekend lined up in Edinburgh, mainly so I can catch some of the #edfilmfest again this year

Two films in the #edfilmfest tonight, and in between I'll be trying to get a glimpse of England vs Algeria!

Boy (NZ): Fairly conventional narrative but great sense of humour and kids' perspectives raised it above the familiar #edfilmfest

Last Rites of Ransom Pride was introduced by director thus: "It's weird. I hope you like it." Unfortunately I wasn't convinced. #edfilmfest

The Man Next Door (Arg): An enjoyable and unpredictable study in how to make life hard for yourself(!) Simple but well executed. #edfilmfest

I find Danish films rarely disappoint on quality, but "R" was one of the bleakest things I've seen in a long time. #edfilmfest

Latest film, "Fog" (China), was a well-nuanced study of a man struggling with nihilism after losing his memory - good stuff. #edfilmfest

Last one for this year: Rafi Pitts' "The Hunter" (Iran) didn't disappoint, and he was as erudite as ever in the Q&A. #edfilmfest

Overall, got a good, if small, cross-section of #edfilmfest 2010. Only one director Q&A though - a bit unlucky, perhaps.
