Running in conjunction with the Edinburgh International Festival, a wider cultural festival in the Scottish capital, this year’s Edinburgh Film Festival will run for one week from August 18 — 23 and will be led by the Film Festival’s new Programme Director, Kate Taylor. Taylor took over the post from Kristy Matheson, who is now heading the BFI’s LFF.
This year will be the first edition since the Centre for the Moving Image , the charity which runs the festival, appointed administrators late last year. In December, Screen Scotland, a national funding body, announced that it had acquired the intellectual property rights to the festival. At the time of administration, a statement from the CMI said a “perfect storm” of rising costs and falling admissions numbers due to the pandemic had been exacerbated by the current cost of living crisis.
The CMI’s physical cinema sites Filmhouse Cinema in Edinburgh and Belmont Filmhouse in Aberdeen also shut their doors. Staff members working at all three organizations were made redundant.is a very easy film to fall in love with. From the idiosyncratic charm of Louis McCartney’s performance to Ella Lily Hyland’s turn as crisp-chomping cool girl Sas, to Hannah Peel’s soaring score, the film is infused with mystic charisma,” Taylor said.
“Johnny Barrington renders the Hebridean landscape, shot on film, as something strange and elemental: a place where we can see transgressive explorations of mourning exist alongside witty forays into religion and teenage hormonal curiosity. Stylistically, Silent Roar is the kind of bold, vivid, and highly absorbing cinema that EIFF wants to champion, and we can’t wait to give the film a beautiful launch into the world.
