OK, so Edinburgh was so good I've not yet managed to write it up and now I'm away again, so in the meantime here are some of the films made by Colin, Ian and the rest of the festival video team, published on the fest's YouTube channel, as well as the awards lowdown. (Personal faves were Ratatouille, We Are Together [which EMI is releasing on a not-for-profit basis - kudos due] and my new favourite film of the year, I'm A Cyborg and That's OK).
