I'm hoping to scan and share some older Filmhouse programmes ahead of their grand Re-opening, however I sadly don't have access to an A3 scanner. If anyone in the Edinburgh area has advice or could help, please do get in touch.

At the moment, I'm job searching which takes priority so posts may become infrequent again. If anyone has a A3 scanner I could use, please get in touch.

Just to update on the project: I'll be posting again. I have a backlog of items from when I had access to an A3 scanner and some things I am able to scan in A4 so expect weekly posts.

Pleased to be posting again on The Edinburgh Film Festivals & Cinemas Archive with this certificate from the 4th EIFF. This took a lot of research even having to contact the US National Archive & Library of Congress. You can read about it here: edinfilmfestcinearchive.blogspot.com/2025/05/cert...

a cartoon character with a big mouth and big teeth is standing in front of a wooden fence Alt: Wallace, in a brown working jacket, clapping in front of a wooden crate

Got to see it earlier this month but watching it again, Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is a true masterpiece! The wonderful mix of old and new, the music, the vocal performance, the smashing jokes, the emotions. It was all there in classic Aardman charm! Just brilliant!

Thought it might be worth starting a starter pack for organisations & people involved with film festivals & cinemas. I've just added organisations for now but am looking forward to adding people. Just reply to this and let me know. Please feel free to share.

Brilliant list. I'm working on the Edinburgh Film Festivals & Cinemas Archive (edinfilmfestcinearchive.blogspot.com) and would love to be added.

Are film festival people included?

From working at Cameo, this feels like Picturehouse setting one price for all rather than realising, outside London, Β£8 for any drink isn't normal!
I don't remember it ever being that expensive!

All this discourse of people using their phones during Wicked is putting the fear in me ahead of seeing it on Tuesday. Think there needs to be stronger messaging and harsher punishments regarding phone use in cinemas.
