If you live in Scotland, and have attended a Cineworld over the last several months, there is a strong chance you have seen this trailer for We Are Northern Lights before your chosen feature presentation:
If you have seen this in a Glasgow Cineworld, you may well have heard someone booing loudly during the trailer. That someone was me. I am sorry if I removed any pleasure from your cinematic experience, but I can only plead that I was allergic to the trailer and I would prefer to boo than to vomit.
The trailer made me react this way because it had everything I hate about Scottish cinema in it; the twee, indie soundtrack, endless shots of gray skies, and the bile-swilling obsession with stereotypes of Scotland.

Since its première at this year's Glasgow Film Festival, micro-budget Scottish documentary We Are Northern Lights has gone from strength to strength. Now it's back for an extended run at Cineworld venues across Scotland, starting from the 3rd of May. We caught up with director Nick Higgins to ask him how this makes him feel.
"I'm delighted," says Nick, who sounds it. "Really, all filmmakers want their films to get as big an audience as possible. I've had three of my films play at the Edinburgh Film Festival and it was great to do that that but this is something different, this is the paying public. And of course it's historic. No Scotish documentary has ever been given a release like this before so I hope we've created a wee space there."
Crowdsourced and put together using footage from right across Scotland, this is an incredibly ambitious...
