Edinburgh International Film Festival

The Edinburgh International Film Festival started in 1947, it is one of the true homes of innovative and exciting cinema. For over half-a-century, the Festival has presented some of cinema's most important and exciting moments and played host to the world's greatest filmmakers.

The longest continually running film festival in the world, it has come a long way from its beginnings as a documentary-based festival established in the wake of World War II. 

Over the the last ten years we have seen a strengthening of the critical fortunes of the Festival through the strong artistic direction of Mark Cousins, Lizzie Francke, Shane Danielsen and currently Hannah McGill.

Some of the notable films screened in the last few years include: Mrs Brown, The Full Monty, La Vie Revée des Anges, Run Lola Run, Billy Elliot, Amores Perros, Amelie, 16 Years of Alcohol, Young Adam, Motorcycle Diaries, Old Boy, Hero, Tsotsi, Thumbsucker, Serenity and Wah-Wah.
