Edinburgh Filmhouse Reopens June After £2M Refurbishment
Edinburgh's iconic Filmhouse cinema is set to reopen on June 27, 2025, following a £2 million refurbishment after nearly three years of closure. The refurbishment includes a new fourth screen with 24 seats, expanded total capacity of 350, improved seating with extra legroom, a 100-seat bar area, and substantial repairs to the roof and stonework. The reopening is the result of a successful campaign supported by crowdfunding efforts that raised over £324,000 alongside significant grants from the UK government's Levelling Up Community Ownership Fund and contributions from Screen Scotland, Creative Scotland, and the City of Edinburgh Council. The Filmhouse will continue its tradition of showcasing world cinema, indie films, and celluloid screenings, partnering with several Scottish film festivals and introducing new membership and tiered ticket pricing. Led by a team including chair Ginnie Atkinson, head of programming Rod White, and executive director Andrew Simpson, the cinema aims to provide a vital platform for independent cinema and Scotland's filmmakers. The reopening follows a new 25-year lease agreement with the building's owner, ensuring the venue’s future as a cinematic landmark.
