W e might be coming to the end of summer but it's safe to say that it really has been a phenomenal festival season. If, like us, you're already dreading the cold mornings and dark nights, just remember that the best time of the year (i.e. Halloween) is right around the corner. We're excited about Samhuinn, the return of the Festival of the Dead in Edinburgh and Glasgow and all the spooky goings-on at Lauriston Castle (page 50). Plus, there are some excellent reasons to head out and about this month, no matter how tempting it is to stay warm and cosy at home.

The Take One Action! Film Festival is back (page 26), as is Africa in Motion (page 61), the Document Human Rights Film Festival (page 36) and the Glasgow Youth Film Festival (page 38), all of which have wonderful and inspiring programmes. We also catch up with Kathryn Joseph (page 34) ahead of her upcoming tour and Song, By Toad's Matthew Young (page 41) about the label's 10th birthday. And students, don't forget to check out our 2018 Student Guide (page 103) which features all our top tips for eating, drinking, shopping, going out and lots more. Our next issue is out on 1 Nov, where we'll be announcing this year's countdown of our favourite cultural movers and shakers in Scotland. In the meantime, turn to page 96 to find out more about how you can join us to celebrate at our annual Hot 100 party.

THE LIST CELEBRATES 750 ISSUES We've reached a pretty big milestone, so naturally we're celebrating. This issue's cover is a reworked version of the first ever List cover from 1985. Plus, co-founder Robin Hodge has trawled through our archives to pick some of the most memorable cover stars from that first issue until the present day, which feature the likes of Annie Lennox, Shirley Manson and Young Fathers. 103

TAKE ONE ACTION! The annual film festival returns with a dedicated Sisters strand, focusing on stories of women's empowerment. We chat to Executive Director Tamara Van Strijthem and Naila Ayesh, the main protagonist of closing film Naila and the Uprising. STUDENT GUIDE 2018 From cracking cinema deals to cheap eats, our Student Guide has got you covered. Read about all the delights that Glasgow and Edinburgh have to offer, as well as advice and top tips in theatre, music, visual art and more.
