Edinburgh's Filmhouse would need to undergo a "restructure" to secure a long-term future as a cinema, a councillor has said.
Iain Whyte, Conservative group leader at the City Chambers, told a council meeting the way the non-profit movie theatre was being run "clearly wasn't working" and said a nearby arthouse cinema "works very well" on a commercial basis.
Councillors unanimously reiterated the council's position that the now boarded-up Lothian Road building should remain as a "centre of film culture" as administrators continue discussions with potential new owners.
