 Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival is happening the weekend after
> next - from Friday 21st to Sun 23rd October, in Hawick, Scottish
> Borders. As Creative Director for the festival, I wanted to invite you
> personally (well, almost personally...), to what I hope will be a
> stimulating, challenging and enjoyably long weekend of stunning film
> and moving image work. This year, we've themed it around 'landscape
> and the four elements'. 
> 
> Our much expanded programme includes a full two days of
> feature-length screenings in two venues - the main auditorium at Tower
> Mill in Hawick, plus the amazing 42 seat cinema of the Hawick Film and
> Video Group. We're also taking over several empty shops for artists
> installations around the town, and running our own 'Improbable Cinema'
> space throughout the three day festival.
