Edi Stark sits in: The EIFF 2017 has begun and Edi discusses opening film God's Own Country

Edi Stark sits in for Janice Forsyth and discusses God's Own Country, the opening film at the 2017 Edinburgh International Film Festival, plus she hears from the stars of the film.

It's film review day and, as The Edinburgh Film Festival began last night - we discuss the opening film, God's Own Country and hear from some of the stars of the film.

We'll also hear from the legendary Richard E Grant - who has appeared in many critically acclaimed films ranging from independent projects to Hollywood blockbusters, including The Age of Innocence, Gosford Park, L.A. Story, The Player, Bram Stoker's Dracula and, most recently, Jackie. Ahead of his In Person event at the EIFF, he'll be discussing his long and fascinating career.

Director Grant McPhee discusses Teenage Superstars - his impressive follow up to EIFF's 2015 Audience Award winner Big Gold Dream picks up where the previous film left off, and continues its thrilling tour of the pre-Britpop, Scottish music scene.

Regular critics Ian Hoey and Ross MacLean will be discussing their picks from the EIFF 2017 programme and giving us the inside track on everything that been happening movie-wise in the Capital.

Away from the festival Brendan Gleeson will discuss his role alongside Diane Keaton in Hampstead and the brilliant Fred MacAulay, will be on hand to tell us all about his new touring show - Indy Fred2!
