The 107 former employees of the Centre for the Moving Image (CMI) - parent company of the Edinburgh Filmhouse, Aberdeen's Belmont Filmhouse and the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) - have started a welfare fund.
The GoFundMe campaign is aiming to raise £50,000 to pay 40 members of staff around one month’s pay, at the real living wage rate, based on their previously worked hours; with a cushion for unforeseen needs.
A variety of different roles were made redundant without warning on 6 October, as the CMI entered administration and the cinemas closed.
