The Odyssey is the kind of film that caused teenage me to fall in love with cinema and tonight I fell for it all over again. Thank you @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social for the gorgeous 70mm print, too.

I really enjoyed 'Effi o Blaenau', an excellent Welsh language film currently screening at Edinburgh's Filmhouse @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social

A wee clip from our recent podcast with Raymah Tariq (@filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social Programme Manager): "Everything that we do is decided by the people in that cinema. That's what makes us an independent cinema." 📻 open.spotify.com/episode/5rdv... 🖥️ hippfest.wordpress.com/2026/06/26/h...

Very much enjoyed our @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social Projection Room tour yesterday. David was very knowledgeable and it was fascinating to hear about the work that goes on in the background. Do go if you get the chance.

A very happy, 70mm wide-screen first reopening birthday 🎂 to the fabulous @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social . Some of my FH photos from across the years, to celebrate. The city was not the same without you. . #Edinburgh #Edimbourg #photography #photographie #film #cinema

Finally saw the full-on, jazzy operatic brilliance of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg at @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social Well worth the wait

Loving that @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social is running a short David Byrne season ahead of his Edinburgh gig next month. It means I can see Stop Making Sense (4K) on the big screen for the second time. Can't wait. It's magical. Perhaps even transcendental. Talking Heads as David Byrne's warm-up act.

Just checked and I’ve seen 15 films at @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social in the last not-quite-year. Membership has definitely been decent value. Probably also ate 15 plates of 10%-off nachos…

I saw the film Hen at Edinburgh's Filmhouse @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social yesterday, definitely recommend it. Here's a good article about it from Patrick Barkham in the Guardian www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

‘Somehow you become the chicken’: inside the film about people-smuggling told through the eyes of a hen

Eight birds play the lead in Hen – one for running scenes, one for pecking, one for staying still. And there’s even a cockerel love interest. Director György Pálfi explains why it’s his most normal mo...

Finally saw The Stranger yesterday @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social yesterday. The black and white cinematography was to die for. Not your chronological version of the book but perfectly related with two 21st Century twists in the last 5 minutes. Merci François Ozon!

❄️ Our festive opening hours! 🎄 We will be closed Christmas Day - but don't worry! We'll be open with lots of great films for you to enjoy, just with slightly different hours 🎬

Utter delight to have the @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social back for its first Christmas in years, and It's a Wonderful Life still wove its eternal magic. Jimmy Stewart, freshly back from the horrors he saw in the war, yet in a movie that moves through darkness to hope & love. Wonderful. #film

Sunset Boulevard (1950)

A hack screenwriter writes a screenplay for a former silent film star who has faded into Hollywood obscurity.

In a world that is rapidly going mad, it was sheer escapist joy to be submerged for a couple of hours in the lush melodrama of All That Heaven Allows on the big screen. Magical experience. @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social
