Edinburgh Film Festival

The Edinburgh Film Festival takes place in August every year.

As the longest running UK Film festival it has always had a reputation for the bold and original. Beginning in 1947, in the wake of World War II, the festival was initially documentary based. Since then the festival has grown from strength to strength premiering such classics as Mrs Brown, The Full Monty, Ratcatcher, Billy Elliot and Run Lola Run.

If you have an interest in film the festival is the place to discover new talent, see the most innovative and groundbreaking new films and even see some of the leading lights in British cinema.

August is the main festival month in Edinburgh and the International Film Festival coincides with many other exciting festivals including the world famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The atmosphere in Edinburgh during August is something that is not to be missed and our castle apartments enable you to be in the thick of the action. You can experience the hustle and bustle of the Royal Mile and also have a serviced and fully fitted apartment in Edinburgh to relax in at the end of the day.
