Continuing its long standing tradition of unveiling the latest Disney•Pixar titles weeks before their UK releases, this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival will play host to Monsters University. The film, which is a prequel to Monsters, Inc., will act as the festival’s Family Gala, and is scheduled to screen at the Festival Theatre on Sunday June [...]
With little over a month to go until this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) kicks off in earnest, and the programme launch now just weeks away, it seemed a little odd that prospective audiences still had no idea what might open the 2013 festival. However, we now have an opening film to go with [...]
Not Another Happy Ending has been chosen to close this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival. The world’s longest continuously film festival, now in its 67th year, will play host to the Glasgow-set romantic comedy, where it will premiere as the closing night film on June 30.

In surprising, yet celebratory news, it has been announced that Chris Fujiwara will retain his position as Artistic Director for the Edinburgh International Film Festival for a further three years after signing a new contract. The news was revealed moments ago via the Edinburgh International Film Festival website and after a twelve-day event that saw [...]
Hitting DVD this week is Albatross, a coming-of-age comedy-drama about a Emelia (Jessica Brown Findlay), a verbose, would-be writer’s incendiary effect on a struggling author, Jonathan (Sebastian Koch), and his respective family, including wife Joa (Julia Ormond) and daughter Beth (Felicity Jones). The film, which premiered at last year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival to wide acclaim, [...]
In June a little-known film called Tomboy premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival to overwhelmingly positive reviews. Directed by Céline Sciamma, Tomboy centers on Laure (Zoé Héran), a 10-year-old girl who, after moving to a new neighbourhood with her parents and younger sister, pretends to be a boy to make friends, unaward of the hurt [...]

Directed by BAFTA Award-winning filmmaker Hattie Dalton, Third Star stars Hugh Bonneville, Tom Burke, Benedict Cumberbatch, JJ Feild, Rupert Frazer, Nia Roberts, Adam Robertson and Eros Vlahos. James (Cumberbatch) and his three closest lifelong friends go on an ill-advised trip to the stunning coastal area of Barafundle Bay in [...]
We enjoyed Gareth Edwards’ Monsters in Edinburgh this year and soon UK audiences will get the chance to check out this road movie with a difference. If you can’t wait to get your Monsters fix then there’s a new initiative to whip you into a frenzy and it’s a pretty neat idea. Using Foursquare Vertigo [...]
This revenge thriller starring True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten is generating a great deal of buzz at London’s Frightfest, Craig’s report can be read here and Martyn reviewed Red Hill when it played at Edinburgh earlier in the year, now there’s a new poster out to get you in the mood. A recent trailer gives a [...]
We were lucky enough to see writer/director Patrick Hughes’ latest, Red Hill, at the Edinburgh Film Festival this year and we were impressed by what we saw. There’s a new trailer out in the wild today and it gives a good impression, certainly buzz from its debut at Sydney and then at Edinburgh suggests that [...]
Arriving via IMDB you can check out the new poster for Gareth Edwards’ Monsters embedded below. Perhaps less visually interesting than the previous posters this one is still very cool, I particularly like the way the designers have incorporated the release date. You can find all our coverage of Monsters by clicking here, including a the trailer [...]
The official UK trailer and poster for The Illusionist have been revealed and sent to us courtesy of Pathe Distribution. The film, a traditional hand-drawn animation, was directed by Sylvain Chomet in his purpose built studio in the heart of Edinburgh.

So, bypassing the obligatory ‘new District 9′ nonsense, let’s get down to business. There’s a new trailer for Gareth Edwards’ alien invasion film Monsters roaming around the internet this evening and we’ve managed to cage it for you good people to see. We were at the Edinburgh Film Festival when this film was shown, our [...]
Director Arvin Chen has two well received short films in the bag, one a straight comedy and the other a romantic story, and with Au Revoir Taipei Chen has blended the two genres with great results. The film is a great multi-stranded romantic comedy that follows numerous characters that are caught up in the story [...]
It’s been a rather busy couple of weeks at the Edinburgh Film Festival and our roving reporters, Martyn Warren and Nicola Balkind have done a sterling job bringing you reviews from all the major films as well as daily roundups from the event. Our friends at Upbeat have just sent us the final round up [...]
Day 10 – Friday Friday has to be one of my favourite days at EIFF. It began with Superhero Me at the Cameo – a.k.a. the comfiest cinema in the universe. Enveloped in its cozy red seats, we were swept away on a magical journey of cheap spandex, a novice superhero named SOS, and a [...]
Patrick Hughes leaps into the crowded crime thriller arena with his debut feature film Red Hill, which played at the Edinburgh Film Festival this year, and is competing with a wide array of talent, not least in the thriller genre. Policeman Shane Cooper (Ryan Kwanten) has moved from the city to a quiet town in [...]
Pelican Blood, which had its world premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival, is an interesting attempt at making a film about the life and loves of an obsessive birdwatcher and while they try to make the film as cool and sexy as it can be, I found this film to be an overall disappointment due [...]
