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.

Key to the EIFF mission is the identification, exposure and development
of the filmmaking legends of the future.

Filmmaker guests are integral - as is the participation of the
audience, through our discussion events and onstage interviews.

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.

Newly positioned in a June slot, EIFF will have an unprecedented
opportunity to assert its status among the world’s leading film events
and the UK’s most significant and valued cultural institutions.

The 62nd Edinburgh International Film Festival will take place 18 - 29
June 2008.
