Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB

Markus Miessen is an architect, spatial consultant and writer, and one of the Edinburgh International Film Festival’s guest curators.

He will transform Inspace into, as he puts it, an “informally discursive social space, a hub for antagonistic debate, nonconsensual formats of moving image display, and – ultimately – a platform for alternative formats of civility”.

He is the author of many books and articles, and the editor of ‘Did Someone Say Participate’ (the Independent: “one of the ten best architecture books of all time”).

For all you set-jetters out there, a treat filmed right here on our doorstep. It’s 1930s Edinburgh and Miss Jean Brodie cuts a dash through the Marcia Blaine School for Girls. She has the frocks, she has her tenure, and she has a tendency to romanticise Fascism in class.

The Brodie Set are the focus of her devotion and energy, her girls are the crème de la crème. But overlooking Greyfrairs Kirk and on the banks of the Forth at Cramond, there is a snake in the grass… and the trousers.
