This month Mark Cosgrove and Steph Read share their enthusiasm and thoughts for just a small selection of the films coming up this month at Watershed.There's searching for identity in Return to Seoul – a striking film for its incredible lead performance, for its subject of place and belonging and for its beautiful cinematic style. Influenced by this Steph talks about the season of Sunday films she has curated throughout May. All are intriguing tales of identity formed rather than found, rather than traditional coming of age films.Mark enthuses about being drawn into the different relationships, full of light and warmth, in Tunisian film Under the Fig Trees.

All rounded off by Mark and Steph's joyous reflections on the 40 year old classic Scottish film, Local Hero.May is a month with much to look forward to.
