Lee is an avid art film follower and has an archive of British Film Institute (BFI) art films and art documentaries and regularly screens films from his collection.

Luke is part of Dalry Open Film (DOF), who meet weekly to create and make short films. They have screened for us:  Invisible Edinburgh, people who have experienced homelessness who have been trained as tour guides for Edinburgh based on their experience, stories and historical interests.
