One of the UK’s most famous independent cinemas, the Filmhouse in Edinburgh, is banking on a surge of interest in celluloid film screenings when it reopens after a three-year closure.

The Filmhouse reopens later in June with a promise to put on 70mm film versions of the recent blockbusters Oppenheimer and The Brutalist, and other major films, to capitalise on growing interest in analogue screenings.
