In a exciting project for the Edinburgh international Film Festival, I designed and laid out this exciting publication.

From under the luminous glare of the laptop and cinema screen, From Troubled Dreams Under A Glare Of Sky gathers newly commissioned essays from nine writers in Scotland, exploring ideas of cinema and metamorphosis. Considering films in the programme of EIFF @ Edinburgh International Festival and beyond, the texts — ranging in style, form and focus — encompass dreams and awakenings, the fatigue of cultural production, queerness and transness, Blackness and sacred spaces, and depictions of the immigrant.

Each text creates space to understand, to make sense of what is on screen and what is out of frame. The collection seeks to introduce readers to a burgeoning Scottish scene of fresh voices in film and cultural criticism.
