FIRST Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said the Scottish Government will “consider whether there is any support” they can offer to two independent cinemas in Scotland.
The Filmhouse Cinema and Café Bar in Edinburgh and the Belmont Filmhouse in Aberdeen have faced the “perfect storm of sharply rising costs”, according to the charity running the venues.
The Centre for the Moving Image (CMI) is also responsible for running the Edinburgh International Film Festival – which will stop trading as administrators assess the charity’s future.
