A wide-ranging programme of hundreds of online and outdoor events by people all over Scotland. mhfestival.com/whats-on

You can watch this moving portrait of one woman's private grief and reconnection with herself, starring Kirsty Stuart (@CurlyKStu) and Jordan Young (Jordan Young) from 17-23rd May as part of the Grief strand in #SMHAF21 mhfestival.com/events/53-nati…

There’s a lot of stuff about her by better people than me, but the thing I remember about Helen McCrory was that she played this scene, where heartbreakingly she gets fired, with her feet in a basin of hot water. Her filthy cold was a mere technicality. Great woman gone too soon.

Join us on Monday at 7pm at the #SMHAF21 International Film Awards 🎉 Free to book at: eventbrite.co.uk/e/internationa…
