Edinburgh International Film Festival

Edinburgh International Film Festival from 18 - 29 June 2008

For the first time in over 60 years, the 2008 Edinburgh International Film Festival will be held in June (18th-29th June 2008) in a bid to raise the profile of the event and the films being showcased.

This is one film festival where the films are the stars, so expect some real cinematic treats from every corner of the globe. In previous years, Edinburgh film festival goers have been able to get an insight into the production process with talks by directors, enjoy advance screenings of rough cuts of new films and indulge in some serious star spotting at glamorous galas and premieres.

With 142 features from 29 countries and a staggering 15 World Premieres, the 62nd Edinburgh International Film Festival is bringing films to light.

Two of Hollywood’s hottest film stars, Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller, are set to launch the 2008 Festival, at the opening night premiere of ‘The Edge of Love’, a film based on the life of free-spirited Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.
