Edinburgh International Film Festival starts today! It looks like another excellent programme and I'm looking forward to reviewing selected films here and on Crafty Green Poet from next Monday onwards.
You can see the programme here and book tickets here.
Tickets for most films cost £9 (£7.50 concession). Howard from Belvedere Mountain Express complained about this on a post on Crafty Green Poet.
However I think it's pretty reasonable value when you consider that the cinemas in walking distance of where I live charge: £7.30; £7.50 or
£8.70 for a standard adult ticket for an evening screening. If you
choose your films wisely at the Film Festival you can see brilliant
films that never come back to the screen and for that I think it's well
worth paying up to an extra £1.70.
Admittedly I do have a press pass and will be viewing
more films than I would probably do otherwise. I can't make the press
screening of RentaNeko unfortunately, and may buy a ticket (if there are any left!) for one of the public screenings.
