Wild Song Film Fest in Edinburgh features Rianne White and more at new music video event

Promonews - 9th Mar 2026

The inaugural Wild Song Film Fest takes place on Thursday, March 12th with a night of local and international music videos at Cameo Cinema in Edinburgh, with a special feature on director Rianne White. 

Thr full lineup including Franz Ferdinand, Courtney Barnett, Bonnie "Prince" Billy and more - and the inaugural event will shine a spotlight on Edinburgh's own director Rianne White. Wild Song will feature five of Rianne's music videos, for Franz Ferdinand, Young Fathers, AURORA, Black Country, New Road and Lucia & The Best Boys (above). 

Also featured will be Ben Berman, acclaimed US director known for his work on Tim and Eric. Wild Song will feature three of Berman's videos for Bonnie "Prince" Billy, including I See a Darkness, filmed on the streets of Glasgow.

In addition to Young Fathers, some of Edinburgh's top musical talent will be showcased, with videos from indie rocker Hamish Hawk, rising pop star Rachel White, and young drag queen Cherry West.

The festival will also present the world premiere of the new video for Gareth Overton's new single Getting Over Going Under which he wrote for the Wild Song songwriting challenge last month. Gareth won the competition, and his prize was a recording session at Edinburgh's idyllic Sound Sound recording studio, plus a fully commissioned music video for his new song, to premiere at Wild Song Film Fest.

The Wild Song songwriting challenge and film festival are created by husband and wife producers Sam Goldblatt and Louise E. Knowles, who run the 48 Hour Film Project, Scotland's biggest filmmaking event, with 200 films created each year.

Wild Song will feature two music videos made as part of the 48 Hour Film Project, Grant Dean's comedy horror Killer Moves and Chris Mclellan's hilarious Raprimand, in which an office disciplinary turns into a rap battle.

Producers Sam Goldblatt explained the inspiration for the new festival, saying: "I grew up with MTV and I used to worship music videos. Now all I see is little bits and bobs on my phone. I want all the 90s kids, and everyone of all ages, to join us and celebrate incredible music videos together as a shared experience."
