CELEBRATING FORTY YEARS OF WORTH TALKING ABOUT Move over, Braveheart! Last month saw the culmination of our 40th anniversary celebrations here at Filmhouse, and it has been hugely interesting time (for me at any rate!) comparing the us of now with the us of then. ’ve thoroughly enjoyed spending time talking to Filmhouse’s first Artistic Director, Jim Hickey, and finding out in more detail than I knew what myriad ways the business of running Filmhouse has stayed the same and the as many ways it has not (one of these days I’ll write it all down and can find out how interesting it is for yourselves!). UK distribution itself has changed immeasurably – the dawn of the multiplex in the latter half of the 1980s saw to that.

Back in 1978, Filmhouse itself was part of a sort of movement that saw the birth of a number of similar venues around the UK whose aim was to show a kind of cinema (predominantly foreign language) that simply was not catered for within mainstream film exhibition. Despite 40 years having passed and much having changed, the notion of an audience-driven, ‘curated’ cinema like Filmhouse remains something of a film exhibition anomaly; and something Jim Hickey wrote 30+ years ago rings just as true today as it did then: “But best of all, the new cinemas are being run by those who care about audiences as well as the films that they have paid to watch.”

Now, we’ve got a bit of a first for you in November, for we have metaphorically got into bed with to give one of their films a hugely deserved, exclusive, short run in a cinema – namely David Mackenzie’s splendidly entertaining Robert the Bruce epic, Outlaw King. Steve McQueen gives Lynda La Plante’s 80s TV series a timely updating/relocating ( to ) in Widows, and Palme d’Or winner, Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Shoplifters, get its eagerly-awaited UK release. With festivals French, German and Greek and a restored Some Like It Hot kicking off a short retro, don’t let anyone say we’ve sold out – not that anyone ever does! Not in my earshot anyway…

First he is the innocent baby, reaching up to grasp the sunlight, then the joyous child, playing at throwing flowers into the lake with a little girl and finally, as he is progressively misjudged by the society that created him, the savage killer as whom he has been typecast. 38 | 2 NOV 18 - 6 DEC 18 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSEcinema.COM

Donations Filmhouse is a registered charity and one of the few truly independent cinemas left in Scotland. Make a donation today and help us to do more! Donations are vital in enabling us to continue in our mission to provide a diverse and ambitious programme of films and events for our audiences, as well as helping us to run educational projects, community activities, school screenings and other work to engage people with the moving image throughout the year. Your support is greatly received and, big or small, your donation will be helping us in our ambitions to do more. You can also increase your charitable donation at no extra cost, thanks to the Gift Aid scheme that allows Filmhouse to reclaim the tax on donations. If you wish to make a donation, please fill in and sign the form available at Box Office and send it back to us or give it directly to our Front of House staff. Legacy For 40 years Filmhouse has been Edinburgh’s foremost independent cinema. We wish to ensure that future generations are able to enjoy and be inspired by the exciting programme of films, events and learning opportunities we are presenting all year round. By remembering Filmhouse in your will, you will be helping us to continue investing in showing incredible films each year, celebrating world cinema in all its brilliance and diversity as well as in continuing to develop our ambitious film education programme.
