Priority booking available for DCA Members, Friends and Patrons – please log in to your account to book now. 

This screening is open for general sale from 12:00 on Mon 2 March.

Actor Séamus McLean Ross and Billy Boyd, one half of Silibil N' Brains, will be here for a Q&A after this special preview. 

James McAvoy makes his directorial debut with this stranger-than-fiction real life tale of Silibil N' Brains a.k.a Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, two Dundonian lads who pretended to be American rappers to achieve their dreams of hip-hop stardom. 

With scenes filmed in Dundee, knockout performances and a killer soundtrack featuring original music by Silibil N’ Brains, California Schemin’ is a fast-paced, funny, and poignant look at friendship, public personas, and the double-edged sword of ambition. 

I saw California Schemin’ at Toronto International Film Festival and can’t wait to bring it home to Dundee. It’s a wild ride from start to finish – don’t miss your chance to see Dundee on the big screen here at DCA!
