The Edinburgh International Film Festival will mark the 30th anniversary of Danny Boyle‘s “Trainspotting” with a screening featuring live commentary from cast and crew, followed by a club night with DJ sets from Irvine Welsh and Darren Emerson at Leith’s historic Leith Theatre on Aug. 14. The event takes place during EIFF’s 79th edition, running Aug. 13-19.

“Trainspotting” producer Andrew Macdonald called the homecoming “a very special night,” while EIFF CEO and festival director Paul Ridd said the chance to finally honor “the most iconic Scottish film ever made” in the neighborhood where it originated would make for “a night for the ages.” Following its EIFF premiere, the film will be re-released by Park Circus in U.K. and Ireland cinemas starting Aug. 21, before rolling out internationally.
