The substantia­l exhibition by Belgian film and video artist David Claerbout at the Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh includes evocative and beautifull­y made works which ask questions about the medium of film. It’s also a perfect context in which to see Rachel Maclean’s film, Spite Your Face, which represente­d Scotland at last year’s Venice Biennale. A dark and twisted fairytale with a moral and political punch, it looks splendid installed in Talbot Rice’s Georgian gallery. Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh, until 5 May, 0131-650 2210
