Event duration: 2 hrs 30 mins

The Scottish premiere of the new restoration of this cult classic of Irish independent cinema, THE OUTCASTS tells the tale of Maura, whose powers are awakened by an encounter with the mysterious fiddler Scarf Michael, whose music causes fear and hallucinations. Directed by seminal folk horror filmmaker Robert Wynne-Simmons, THE OUTCASTS draws deep from Irish history and mythology to tell a timeless tale of stepping into your true power.  

The screening will be introduced with Irish fiddle music from Benedict Morris and followed by a pre-recorded interview with the film’s director Robert Wynne-Simmons (Blood on Satan’s Claw).

This screening is presented in association with the Irish Film Institute's IFI International Programme supported by Culture Ireland.
