Christian Petzold’s Afire and Celine Song’s Past Lives are among the titles set to screen at this year’s scaled-down Edinburgh International Film Festival (Aug 18-23), which is being mounted as part of Edinburgh’s wider cultural Festival.
The full programme announced includes 24 feature films, five retrospective titles, and a five pic short film programme. Five feature films will be presented as World Premieres, including the opening film Silent Roar. The festival closes with British Iranian filmmaker Babak Jalali’s well-received Sundance pic Fremont.
The festival also today announced its new venue partners. Vue Edinburgh Omni and Everyman Edinburgh at the St James Quarter will host indoor festival screenings while the Old College Quad at the University of Edinburgh will be the site for a weekend of outdoor screenings titled Cinema Under the Stars.
Edinburgh had previously been based out of the Edinburgh Filmhouse cinema, which was sold to a commercial operator earlier this year. The cinema and the festival both closed down when their owner, the Centre for the Moving Image (CMI) 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.
Elsewhere, the festival will host an American independent cinema retrospective featuring four films made by “rebellious filmmaking” voices in the 1980s and 1990s. The festival will also host a retrospective screening of Shane Meadows’ Dead Man’s Shoes, which had its World Premiere at EIFF in 2004.
This year’s event is the first organized by the new Programme Director, Kate Taylor. Taylor took over the post from Kristy Matheson, who is now heading the BFI’s LFF.
