Edinburgh International Film Festival
The Edinburgh International Film Festival devotes itself to discovering and promoting the very best in international cinema - and to embracing, celebrating and debating changes and developments in the global film industry. It presents its diverse and discerning audience with an enlightening programme of films, of all shapes and sizes, drawn from every corner of the earth and from every facet of the artistic imagination.
EIFF is a talking shop for film fans and industry figures alike: a place to take the temperature of film culture, and to assess the role of the UK within it. Key to the EIFF mission is the identification, exposure and development of the filmmaking legends of the future. In Edinburgh, the brightest new talents can rub shoulders with their filmmaking idols, and gain behind-the-scenes guidance on taking their work to the next level. Intimate in its scale, ambitious in its scope, and fuelled by pure passion for cinema in all its manifestations, EIFF seeks to expose the cutting edge of new film talent, in a setting steeped in history.
It will be a cultural magnet for the Scottish diaspora in the year of Homecoming Scotland.
