Films Worth Talking About

For almost 30 years Filmhouse has been Edinburgh's foremost independent cinema, showing over 500 incredible films each year. Filmhouse celebrates world cinema in all its brilliance and diversity. Our programme features new releases and classic re-releases, retrospectives, film seasons and specialist festivals, including the Italian and French film festivals, Africa in Motion, Dead by Dawn horror film festival. Other regular events include Psychotronic Cinema, monthly late-night off-beat cinema, and Gone, But Not Forgotten, commemorating the recently deceased of the film world. Filmhouse is also the home of the Edinburgh International Film Festival which from 2008 will take place in June.

Centrally located on Lothian Road in the West End of Edinburgh’s city centre, Filmhouse has three cinemas which are open to the public seven days a week. Cinema One screens the latest international releases and presents special events with guests talking about their work in different branches of the film industry. Cinemas Two and Three include a wider range of material from the history of world cinema, 16mm, video and digital video work.

The result is that Filmhouse presents a more varied programme than any other cinema in the country. The choice that is available to the people of Edinburgh and the many tourists who visit the city makes Filmhouse one of the leading entertainment and cultural venues in the Capital City.

Filmhouse runs a number of courses, workshops and special events, such as a Introduction to European Cinema series, family events, scriptwriting workshops and animation courses for adults and children. Mondays at 10.30am is ‘For Crying Out Loud’ time, when parents and child carers can see a film from our programme without having the worry of their little darlings making a noise and upsetting other members of the audience. Baby changing, bottle warming and buggy parking facilities are available during these screenings.

As well as three screens, Filmhouse also houses a lively Cafe Bar, a popular meeting place, that offers fresh, affordable and imaginative food and a great choice of hot and cold beverages - open 7 days from 10 till late. Once a month Filmhouse Cafe Bar hosts the phenomenally successful (and rather tricky) Film Quiz.

Filmhouse screens can be hired for private events and corporate functions.
