Festival In Focus: How Edinburgh Film Festival Aims To Become A “Destination Festival” With Reworked Industry Sidebar
Alex Garland, Thelma Schoonmaker, and Gaspar Noé will also host Q&A sessions during the festival.
Macdonald, best known as the pioneering local producer behind Trainspotting, has worked with Garland for multiple decades on titles including The Beach(2000), 28 Days Later(2002), Ex Machina(2014), and their recent box office hit Civil War.
