The story of a young man who survives a fishing disaster in a small Scottish community lingers long in the mind
Sunshine on Leith is just one of three movies opening this week featuring rising star George MacKay, a gifted and versatile actor whose ship appears to have come in. In this affecting and atmospheric fable he plays Aaron, the sole survivor of a mysterious fishing accident in which several souls were lost, including his long-idolised older brother.
Stigmatised by the insular Scottish community who blame him for the unexplained tragedy (Aaron can remember nothing) and enraptured by fairytale memories of a sea devil that swallowed children into its "dirty belly", this wandering ghost is drawn back to the dark waters whose whispered secrets haunt his waking dreams. With its shifting visual formats (floating vistas, handheld phone footage, news reportage) and evocative soundscapes, this is an arresting and hypnotic feature debut from writer-director Paul Wright,...

★★★★☆ Back in 2010, emerging Scottish director Paul Wright picked up a BAFTA for his short film Until the River Runs Red. Now, trying his hand at feature-length filmmaking, Wright returns with For Those in Peril (2013), a worthy debut which holds great promise. Aaron (George MacKay) is the sole survivor of a disastrous fishing incident which sees his older brother, amongst others, go missing. As the local police give up their search for the young men who have lost their lives, the grieving Aaron doesn't give up hope and along with his brother's fiancée (Nichola Burley), decides to go looking for the vanished fishermen himself.
Aaron's naïve actions provoke much disdain amongst his small community, who resent the boy for surviving the accident and blame him for what had occurred. Contending not only with a death in the family, Aaron is also battling against his own rumour-mongering people, despite support from his...

Fresh from triumph on the festival circuit, a host of exciting British films is set for release. We talk to the directors behind this sudden renaissance
At Cannes, in May, there was anxious talk. Of the 70-plus features showcased at the film festival only two of them were British. Did it signal a decline in the UK industry? By the end of 2013, would our film people be wringing their hands while cinemagoers queued up for American fare and the House of Lords unhappily convened a select committee?
Without a doubt, the pair of British films on show at Cannes were excellent – Clio Barnard's The Selfish Giant and Paul Wright's For Those in Peril – both bruising, powerful dramas. But French and American and Mexican and Chinese and Cambodian film-makers left Cannes with the top prizes; meanwhile fans and boosters of British cinema travelled back across the Channel in mild panic.

The 2011 Orange British Academy Film Awards were handed out today and to very little surprise The King's Speech led the way with seven BAFTA Awards as it was also the most nominated film among all nominees with 14 total nominations.
Among its achievements it took home Best Picture, Outstanding British Film, Best Actor for Colin Firth, Best Original screenplay for David Seidler and Best Score for Alexandre Desplat. Where the surprises came were in the supporting wins for both Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter showing The Fighter apparently doesn't pack as much of a punch across the pond as it does here.
Also, for those of you trying to predict the Oscars and are wondering which direction to go with Best Director, David Fincher took home the award for The Social Network, one of three wins on the night for the film. Aaron Sorkin also won for Adapted Screenplay and Film Editing.

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) have announced their nominations for the 2011 BAFTA Awards (the British equivalent of the Oscars). There’s no real big surprises on the list. The Social Network has been dominating awards circles in North America but The King’s Speech is leading the BAFTAs with 14 nominations, including Best Picture and Outstanding British Film. Black Swan (voted best film here at Sound On Sight) has 12 nominations, True Grit 8 nominations, and Inception 9 nominations. Personally I think the most interesting category is the “Outstanding Debut By a British writer, director, or producer”, which includes the likes of Gareth Edwards (Monsters), Chris Morris (Four Lions), and Banksy (Exit Through the Gift Shop). I can’t wait to see who wins, and I’d be happy with either of these three talented filmmakers.
Hit the jump for a full list of the nominations. Winners will be announced on February 13th.

Tonight the 2011 Orange British Academy Film Award nominees were announced and to no surprise The King's Speech led the way with 14 nominations in all the expected categories including Best Film alongside fellow nominees Black Swan, Inception, The Social Network and True Grit.
Oscar front-runner The Social Network scored six nominations, but was still behind Black Swan with 12 noms, Christopher Nolan's Inception with nine, the Coen brothers' True Grit scored eight and Danny Boyle's 127 Hours received seven nominations.
Looking over the list really quickly I notice that not only was The Social Network not among the leading nominees it was also snubbed for Best Original Music, Cinematography and Sound. Elsewhere, Winter's Bone star Jennifer Lawrence wasn't nominated for Lead Actress as Noomi Rapace (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) was nominated instead. Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole) wasn't nominated either, but neither was Sally Hawkins for Made in Dagenham.
