The Inverness Film Festival is set to kick off tonight with a screening of Terence Davies' new film The Deep Blue Sea, starring Rachel Weisz and Tom Hiddlestone.

The festival takes place over the next five days, at the swankily refurbished Eden Court, and also allows Scottish cinema-goers their first opportunity to see Steve McQueen's eagerly anticipated Shame (closing the festival) and Andrea Arnold's new adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

The festival also includes a selection of short films and documentary features, in addition to a screening of the F.W.Murnau classic Sunrise which will feature a live musical accompaniment.
