This year's Sands: International Film Festival of St Andrews will run over the weekend of April 14 to 16.
On the 15th Academy-Award nominated actor Stanley Tucci will present his much-loved 1996 film Big Night followed by a Q&A alongside Joe Russo.
Among the other films screening is Sundance Grand Jury prize-winner Klondike, directed by Maryna Er Gorbach and rom-com charmer Rye Lane.
Events include casting director Margery Simkin (Top Gun, The Avatar Franchise, Erin Brockovich) who will talk about her craft, while Ita O'Brien, Gemma Bodinetz and Kally Lloyd-Jones will discuss intimacy co-ordination in theatre and film.
Ania Trzebiatowska, Festival Director said: “The idea behind Sands is to create a sense of community and a dialogue between a diverse group of artists and film lovers. We think it’s important to pause and think about not just where we are, but also how we got here, and how to make this industry into a better and more sustainable environment. Stanley Tucci is one of the most curious, passionate and fearless filmmakers out there, and we’re so excited to welcome him to St Andrews to talk about his professional journey and the stories he’s interested in telling.”
