HIFF's Muriel Ann Macleod said this year's festival would have a "pretty strong environmental punch" with films such as Chasing Coral, An Inconvenient Sequel, White Waves and Tawai-a voice from the Forest.

She added: "We also celebrate remote lives and cultures with films like Angry Inuk and The Eagle Huntress and alongside this we have crime dramas set in rural places so there is great diversity in our programme of 24 features and 17 shorts."
