What is love, anyway? Join Dunedin Consort for an exploration of love through the ages in this specially commissioned film by Leith-based film studio Arms & Legs, shot in locations across Edinburgh. Pairing the dream-like writings of Roland Barthes with music by Monteverdi, Gesualdo and Marenzio, A Lover’s Discourse examines the very real frustrations and contradictions of human love, reminding us that it is as universal as it is timeless.  

The screening is preceded by a conversation with Chief Executive, Jo Buckley, and the film’s producer, David Lee.
