SPECIAL EVENT WITH PERTH SCOTTISH FIDDLERS

Sunday, June 28
Windsor Cinema
Doors open + performance: 3:30pm
Film session: 4.00pm

Join us for a $12 wee dram of Glendronach Whisky (neat, with ice, or soda) purchased from the bar before enjoying the rich and extensive violin and dance repertoire of Scotland, both traditional and contemporary, performed by Perth Scottish Fiddlers.

The legendary Brian Cox makes his directorial debut with this compelling family drama, set in the stunning Scottish Highlands and co-starring Alan Cumming.

When his beloved Chicago blues club burns down, Donal (Cumming) returns to his family-owned whisky distillery in the Scottish Highlands for the first time in nearly 40 years. Donal didn’t leave Scotland on the best terms, having wound up in a violent exchange with his brother Sandy (Cox) and their father on the day of their mother’s funeral. Joined by his daughter Amy (Alexandra Shipp, Barbie), Donal returns to his homeland in the hopes of making amends with his brother. But with old wounds running deep and the fate of the family business on the line, can inner peace finally be found before it’s too late?

Written by David Ashton (The Last King of Scotland) and accomplished TV writer Jeff Murphy (Hinterland), Glenrothan explores the complexities of familial bonds, set against the proud and timeless tradition of whisky making against the sweeping highlands of Scotland. Anchored by a script rich with authenticity, Glenrothan is an evocative journey into the heart of family, memory, and homecoming.
