Several stars at this year's Scottish BAFTAs have called on people to come together to help save one of Edinburgh's most loved film institutions. Described as a "bedrock of Edinburgh's film culture", The Edinburgh Filmhouse stopped trading at the start of October leading to over 80 people losing their jobs.
Not only that, when the Centre for the Moving Image announced it would cease trading it also meant that The Edinburgh International Film Festival, which was established in 1947 making it the world’s oldest continually running film festival, would also stop.
Since then, several petitions and a Just Giving page have been launched to try to save the cinema, the festival and the Belmont Filmhouse in Aberdeen which were all run by the group.
