The Dunfermline Filmhouse is returning to the town, following its success at the Outwith Festival last year.
A packed programme of classic and cutting edge movies will be screened from September 5 to 8 in Dunfermline Carnegie Library and Galleries.
Organisers will be putting on special screenings for people with dementia and other additional support needs.
The Filmhouse team – Chris Foote, Jane Livingstone, Lucy Watt and Jo Edgar – have also revealed plans to hold a regular pop-up cinema throughout the year.
Jane said: “We were absolutely delighted the cinema was so well received last year with 700 people enjoying 16 films over three days of the festival.
“The industry expert talks also proved a popular draw.
“This year we will again be showing a mix of old and new, arthouse, children’s and international movies and an excellent line up of filmmakers have already agreed to speak at the event.”
Highlights of the programme will include the hit Scottish music film Beats, highly regarded documentaries Nae Paseran and Harry Birrell: Films of Love and War and a rare showing of Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade.
Legend of New York indy music scene William McCarthy will introduce his film Rise: The Story of Augustines and there will be a selection of top quality shorts by up and coming local film makers.
The organisers are appealing to local film makers to join in.
The team are looking for movies under 20 minutes long for a TDF Shorts line-up on September 7.

The Filmhouse, supported by the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust, is also reaching out to all members of the community.
As part of this year’s programme, it will be offering adapted screenings for people with additional support needs.
The first is a screening of Singin’ in the Rain for people in the community living with dementia.
The volume and lighting will be adjusted and trained staff and volunteers will be on hand to provide support when needed.
Jo said the team were keen to make the magic of the movies accessible to as many people as possible.
“For the second of the adapted screenings, we will be partnering with local healthcare authorities in identifying people who struggle to access events in the community as a result of illness, disability or trauma,” she added.
“This closed cinema screening will offer a safe space where people can enjoy the excitement and magic of cinema, reducing isolation and building community.”
