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.

Key to the EIFF mission is the identification, exposure and development of the new filmmaking talent and the 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.
