Carrie

Filmhouse is screening Brian De Palma's Carrie on Tuesday 27 October, a special showing that marks the film's 50th anniversary. It's billed as a Halloween screening, and it's part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival's Focus on Film programme, which the festival frames as an exploration of how cinema has long shaped our understanding of mental health problems.

Carrie runs an hour and 38 minutes and follows Carrie White, bullied by her peers and tormented by her fanatically religious mother, in a performance that made Sissy Spacek a star. Spacek is joined by Piper Laurie, and the film is a 1976 cult classic. The screening is followed by a discussion that considers how mental health and young people are represented in genre cinema, so you'll have a chance to talk through the film with others after the credits roll.

One practical thing to keep in mind: the film contains flashing images that may affect viewers susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy. If that's a concern for you, it's worth knowing before you book.

It starts at 8:40pm and runs until 11pm at Filmhouse, 88 Lothian Road, Edinburgh West EH3 9BZ. Tickets are £12.50, with concessions at £10, £5, and £3.
