The trustees of Centre for the Moving Image (CMI), which runs Filmhouse Cinema in Edinburgh, Edinburgh International Film Festival and Belmont Filmhouse in Aberdeen, have appointed administrators.
A statement explained that the charity is facing a "perfect storm" of sharply rising costs, alongside reduced trade due to the ongoing impacts of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis. "The combination and scale of these challenges is unprecedented and means that there was no option but to take immediate action," it added.
The Filmhouse Cinema and Café Bar in Edinburgh, the Edinburgh International Film Festival and Belmont Filmhouse will all cease trading immediately.
