In this episode, host Dr Pasquale Iannone explores some highlights from the 78th Edinburgh International Film Festival which took place in August 2025.

Writer-director Mas Bouzidi tells Pasquale about his debut feature Concessions, a bittersweet comedy shot on 16mm which tells of the final day of business of a New York cinema.

Pasquale is also joined by writer-director Gerard Johnson and lead actor Polly Maberly to discuss their powerful new thriller Odyssey. Maberly delivers an extraordinary performance as a take-no-prisoners, drug-addled London lettings agent whose firm is going through hard times but is determined to keep up appearances, even if it means sliding further and further into debt.

Pasquale also discusses EIFF titles Young Mothers (Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne) and Dragonfly (Paul Andrew Williams)
