Edinburgh International Film Festival to collaborate with Festival Fringe
==========

The 77th edition of the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) will take place from August 15 to 21 this year, with 'non-traditional' venues being used to show films. The EIFF will collaborate with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to tap into creative energy. The film festival's future was in jeopardy in 2022 when organiser Centre for the Moving Image (CMI) went into administration, but it has now been granted £1.5 million funding. The locations for the festival will include Summerhall and Cameo Cinema. The programme will feature international premieres, retrospectives, and restored films. A £50,000 prize will be awarded to a filmmaker in a competition for feature filmmaking excellence. The board of EIFF includes Trainspotting producer Andrew Macdonald and Amy Jackson, producer of the Bafta award-winning film Aftersun. Submissions to the 77th EIFF are open until April 19.
