Stuart Murdoch, frontman of Scottish indie band Belle and Sebastian, has written, directed and scored new film God Help the Girl.
On 16 August, the band will launch the film with a special screening in Edinburgh alongside a live performance of some of the songs from the score.
The gig will take place at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and be simultaneously broadcast across UK cinemas.
