Glasgow's annual international film festival opens with the Scottish premiere of Micmacs, by Amélie and Delicatessen director Jean Pierre Jeunet and closes with US set thriller Legacy, which was co-produced by local production company Black Camel and stars The Wire's Idris Elba.

The Fairtrade Fortnight is designed to raise awareness of the Fairtrade Movement. It takes place at venues and shops across Edinburgh and throughout the UK. The theme of the 2010 Fairtrade Fortnight is "The Big Swap", encouraging people to use a Fairtrade alternative to their normal product where possible.
