Edinburgh film festival announces lineup after seeing off closure threat

Having survived the collapse of its parent organisation, the festival returns with a slimmed-down event

The Edinburgh film festival, which until recently faced the threat of permanent shutdown, has announced the complete lineup for its 2023 edition.

The festival plans to show 36 features - 24 of which are new - over six days in August, having shifted its dates from June to return to its traditional late summer berth that coincides with the rest of the city's large-scale festival activity.
