Don't think the @ScottishDocInst is on here, but the film they supported Theo Panagopoulos to make (with funding from Screen Scotland) won the Short Film Grand Jury Prize @sundancefest. It's called The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing, & it's beautiful.

Screen Scotland is funding this alongside partners. Is it your job? Would you want it to be? .

If you have a vote in the @BAFTA film awards, before you cast it please watch MILK by Miranda Stern and THE FLOWERS STAND SILENTLY, WITNESSING by Theo Panagopoulos. Both are excellent, both deserve your vote.

How did I not know David Bowie lived in Drummond Street, Edinburgh for a short period in the early 1970s. Grateful to @markcousinsfilm for telling me over a curry yesterday in Tuk Tuk on Drummond Street yesterday.

Important new survey launched by Scottish Government: "seeking views on how culture and the arts are currently supported in Scotland and areas for change.” Scotland's screen sector needs to engage in this process as it's about Screen Scotland as well as Creative Scotland. .

Quality Skandi Noir set in Harris? Yeah, on the evidence of the 1st episode I saw tonight that just might be what @BlackCamelPic + @bbcalba have delivered in An t-Eilean/The Island. Lots of intrigue, good acting all round, ditto script, direction, post & music. Airs from Jan 14
