And I’m off again, this time to That Fancy London for a weekend at the Picture House Central, which features two director Q&As. I shall be onstage interviewing Yasuhiro Aoki, whose new movie ChaO (pictured) is the tale of an arranged marriage in Shanghai between a man and a mermaid, and Kenichiro Akimoto, whose All You Need is Kill adapts the same original novel as was turned into Tom Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow, this time in anime form.

On Sunday, I introduce the last film of the London leg, and get straight on the sleeper for Edinburgh, where ChaO gets its Scottish premiere on Monday evening, with the director present once more at the refurbished Film House. The rest of the Edinburgh film week, including an onstage interview with Baku Kinoshita, director of The Last Blossom, is being hosted at the Cameo Picture House.
