Technical Manager David Boyd, Executive Director Andrew Simpson, Filmhouse Chair Ginnie Atkinson, cinema strategist James Rice and Programming Director Rod White open the doors to Edinburgh’s much missed landmark cinema Filmhouse.
The cinema opens to the public Friday 27 June.
Following its closure in October 2022 and a £2 million refurbishment, Scotland’s leading independent cinema Filmhouse returns with new leadership, a vision which builds on the venue’s legacy as a space for learning and discovery, and a commitment to building a sustainable future for this iconic cultural landmark.
The reopening of Filmhouse marks the culmination of a three-year long ‘Open the Doors’ campaign to save the historic cinema backed by film lovers in Edinburgh, Scotland, and around the world and by A-list film talent including patrons Jack Lowden and Charlotte Wells, as well as Dougray Scott, Brian Cox, and Emma Thompson.
Built in a repurposed church on Edinburgh’s Lothian Road, Filmhouse has been a cinematic landmark since 1978.
