A film which has been described as a "eulogy to Aberdeen" will have its UK premiere this week.

Beyond the Haar looks to challenge some of the perceptions of the city and as well as delving into its past.

Film-maker Mark Bremner's directorial debut explores Aberdeen's history and examines some commonly held views of the city.

The film, which is narrated by Elgin-born actor Ralph Riach, takes audiences on a tour of the city and includes iconic sights such as Marischal and Kings colleges.

Rarely seen archive material shows that oil has not always been the the city's dominate industry.

Mr Bremner, who spent five years researching, shooting and editing the movie, believes the film will have something for everyone.

His hard work has already paid off, with the film winning a Grand Jury Prize at this years Amsterdam Film Festival Van Gogh Awards.

The film will be given its UK premiere in Inverness on Thursday before being shown in Aberdeen at a later date.
