Club Film on Skye has had its quality programme of films recognised for a second year running by the British Federation of Film Societies. It is celebrating this with a special showing of ‘Touching the Void’ this weekend (12 June).  

At the recent award ceremony in London, Club Film was named ‘Runner-up’ in the award for Best Film Programme 2004. Last year, Club Film entered for the first time and won.

In an excellent example of the sort of film that the Club is bringing to an enthusiastic audience in Skye, it is screening the epic mountaineering film ‘Touching the Void’ this Saturday and Sunday in its venue at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, the Gaelic College.

Part of Club Film’s success is in welcoming figures from the film industry at screenings. ‘Touching the Void’ will be introduced by Justine Wright, the film’s editor, who will then take part in a question and answer session at the end.

Club Film’s second season comes to an end in June with screenings of ‘The Time of the Gypsies’ and ’Whisky Galore’.
