The Isle of Man Film Festival 2014 is gearing up for its opening on Wednesday.
There are four days of screenings, talks by critics, interviews and live music.
In addition, well respected film critic Mark Kermode will be in attendance giving talks and a performance with his band "The Dodge Brothers" to accompany a silent film.
The festival will also see the premiere of "Island Bound", a film documentary about Manx-born guitarist Davy Knowles tracing musical and cultural roots from the Isle of Man.
Festival programmer Christy DeHaven says premiering the film at the festival seemed an obvious fit, and they're delighted Davy himself will be here:Clip 1
