EXCLUSIVE ENTRY TO EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2020!

This year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival (17 to 28 June) only exists in the fiction of Peter Burnett and the countdown begins now. 

Malcolm Forbes of THE HERALD picks up the story.

“Film critic Victor Eaves finds himself surplus to requirements after one of his reviews causes a scandal. Now he has more time to devote to his side-project, a long-overdue and still-untitled book on the French-Swiss film director Jean-Luc Godard. Then suddenly Victor is in demand again: the 90-year-old auteur is to be the guest of honour at the Edinburgh Film Festival and Victor is tasked with chaperoning him. He rises to the challenge. What’s more, when the man he considers immortal proves to be nothing of the sort, Victor spots an opportunity to get his career back on track. Burnett’s latest novel is both a scabrous satire and a rollicking caper, and comes stuffed with big ideas, memorable set pieces, clever in-jokes and caustic asides. Buried within the mayhem lurk shrewd insights into artistic judgment.”
