16:24:00

Hey Lovelies,

As many of you may have seen or heard about, the incredible Edinburgh International Film Festival came to a close over the weekend, and after screening a huge 134 films at the 12 day event, the festival has announced that this year saw a nine percent increase in the amount of people wanting to show their work.

Over 50,000 admissions were made lovelies and over 14,600 people were lucky enough to see the chosen films at the event, after the festival sold tickets across the city in a number of outlets, including Cineworld, Filmhouse, Odeon and many more.

Speaking about the festival, Ken Hay, CEO Edinburgh International Film Festival, commented; “There have been some truly memorable moments at the Festival this year, from the spectacular opening night World Premiere of THE LEGEND OF BARNEY THOMSON, Ewan McGregor’s sold out In Person at the Lyceum, the skype Q&A with the stars of our Documentary Award Winning Film THE WOLFPACK, the sensational screening of BACK TO THE FUTURE with the RSNO performing the score live, and the opportunity to meet filmmaking legends, Haskell Wexler and Johnnie To.  Our audiences have obviously responded to our rich and diverse programme and we are thrilled to see the increase in admissions.”

This year’s big winner was ’45 Years’ lovelies, so have a look out for the film very soon lovelies! It is sure to be huge, as was the festival this year!
