Strathendrick Film Society

Congratulations to cast and crew of 'Kirk' for winning Best Feature at the Fantastic Film Festival in Manchester, on Sunday 18th October. The film was entered into the Independant Film Category as we ere too late to apply for the amateur competition.

'Kirk' is LOOSELY based on the true story of the Reverend Robert Kirk of Aberfoyle, the seventh son of a seventh son, a scholar and minister of religion, who believed in the Secret Common-wealth of Elves and Fairies. Our film shows how passionately he wanted his wife to also believe, and the drastic action he took to fulfill this mission. Set in the 17th Century, and filmed in the beautiful locations of Loch Lomond, Ardyll Woods Cashel Forest Rowardennan, and Culross conservation village in Fife. This romantic and mystical tale will please audiences of all ages. Made by us. Directed by Michael Ferns.
