Full set of Sean Connery Bond movies heads up Edinburgh film festival programme
All six of Connery’s ‘official’ 007 films will be screened in 4K restorations with big names including Andrea Riseborough, Peter Dinklage and Renée Zellweger on show
Andrea Riseborough, Peter Dinklage, Renée Zellweger and – inevitably – the late Sean Connery will be among the big names on show at the Edinburgh international film festival, which announced its programme today. And in what appears something of a coup, the festival will screen 4K restorations of Connery’s six “official” James Bond films: Dr No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice and Diamonds Are Forever. This year the festival’s competition (for the “Sean Connery prize for feature film-making excellence”) comprises 10 world premieres, including Campbell X’s “queer road movie” Low Rider, Swedish documentary Once You Shall Be One of Those Who Lived Long Ago about a physically collapsing mining town, and In Transit, a drama about an artist and her model starring Jennifer Ehle.
