16 Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2012 ARRIETTY THE SINGING RINGING TREE SNOW WHITE Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2012 Folk tales are a universe of dream, humour, fantasy, fear and wisdom. They power ancient cultures and new media alike. Their fascination remains because they touch our humanity in places that reason fails to plumb or language cannot always fathom. Where better to experience this art than in Scotland, the ancient home of storytelling, and of Celtic hospitality. Sit at the hearth of stories and be transported into other worlds. The 2012 Scottish International Storytelling Festival celebrates the art and humanity of folk tales across Europe, tracing the way in which the publication of the Brothers Grimm Tales 200 years ago, sparked a revival of interest in nations and regions across the continent and influenced every art form. <strong>Filmhouse</strong>’s EISF events this year include a session with renowned Breton harpist and composer Cécile Corbel, who will be performing her beautiful compositions for the Studio Ghibli animated film Arrietty, and three films based on Grimm fairytales, made by the famous DEFA studios in the former East Germany. Many thanks to the Goethe-Institut in Glasgow for their support with these screenings.

Shorts for Middle Ones, for those aged 8 and above, will screen next month.

The Gruffalo’s Child and Other Stories Sat 27 Oct at 12 noon 45m • U The wonderful thing about great books is that they can be made into great films too!

Once again we venture into the deep, dark wood and encounter Snake, Owl and Fox, who are on their way to a showdown with Mouse. But is he as big and bad as everyone says? The Gruffalo’s child is about to find out. Discovery Film Festival have also included two more short films in this compendium. Based on a Tibetan folk tale, Rumours shows just how quickly a story can get out of hand and distort the truth.
