World Premiere of Castles in the Sky is in EIFF Competition

Nominated several times previously, and twice a Michael Powell Award recipient, Gillies Mackinnon returns to EIFF with the World Premiere of CASTLES IN THE SKY

The fascinating story of visionary Scottish engineer and developer of radar, Robert Watson-Watt, played by Eddie Izzard. Co-starring with Izzard is David Hayman, who directed the very first Michael Powell Award winner, Silent Scream, in 1990. Mackinnon previously won the award for The Grass Arena (EIFF 1991) and Small Faces (EIFF 1995).
