Festival background

Festival

The city of Edinburgh comes alive in August as a diverse crowd of artists, industry professionals, and spectators converge on the historic Scottish capital.

The film "Festival" is a dark comedy that takes place during the Edinburgh Fringe festival. The story revolves around the judging of a prestigious comedy award and the performers at a smaller venue. Multiple plotlines intersect, including the tumultuous relationship between a renowned British comedian and his long-suffering assistant, an actress premiering a one-woman show about Dorothy Wordsworth, and a depressed housewife who becomes fixated on a stoned Canadian theater troupe renting her home.
