THE INCOMER

“Rankin and O’Rourke deliver two of the funniest ��comic turns we’ve seen in a long time.”
David Fear-Rolling Stone

Fresh from its triumphant world premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the prestigious NEXT Innovator Award, THE INCOMER arrives at SIFF after emerging as one of Sundance’s most delightfully unexpected audience favorites. Now the film heads home to Scotland as the Opening Night Film of the 2026 Edinburgh International Film Festival, cementing its status as one of the breakout independent comedies of the year.

On a wildly remote Scottish island, eccentric siblings Isla and Sandy have spent their lives happily cut off from the outside world—until an awkward council official arrives with devastating news: they’ll have to leave. What follows is an uproarious, wonderfully weird and unexpectedly touching battle of wills, packed with deadpan Scottish humor, ancient folklore, absurd encounters, sibling chaos and one hopelessly out-of-his-depth bureaucrat. THE INCOMER is a hilarious, big-hearted comedy about outsiders, belonging and the unexpected connections that can change everything.

SOLD OUT!

CALLE MÁLAGA

Spanish cinema is having a major moment. With three Spanish films in Competition at the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival, Spain is once again at the center of the international film conversation. Into that exciting renaissance comes Calle Málaga, a Moroccan-Spanish gem that premiered at the Venice Film Festival last September, won the Venice Audience Award, and has since become an audience favorite at festivals around the world.

An irresistible crowd-pleaser full of warmth, humor, and late-life discovery, Calle Málaga is a film that will put a smile on your face.

The legendary Carmen Maura—the iconic Spanish actress beloved for her unforgettable work with Pedro Almodóvar—gives a radiant, deeply human performance as María Ángeles, a 79-year-old Spanish woman who has built a beautiful life for herself in Tangier, Morocco. Her days are filled with routine, community, memory, and independence—until her daughter arrives from Madrid with plans to sell the apartment María Ángeles has always called home.

Refusing to be pushed aside, María Ángeles fights back with wit, stubbornness, and spirit, determined to reclaim not just her home and belongings, but her sense of freedom. Along the way, she unexpectedly rediscovers love, sensuality, and the joy of being fully alive.

Written and directed by acclaimed Moroccan filmmaker Maryam Touzani (The Blue Caftan), Calle Málaga is a beautifully observed Moroccan-Spanish production and Morocco’s official submission for the Academy Awards®.

Tender, funny, and full of heart, Calle Málaga is a celebration of resilience, second chances, and the power of standing your ground—at any age.

Writer & Director: Maryam Touzani
Starring: Carmen Mauram, Marta Etura, Ahmed Boulane, María Alfonsa Rosso
