Now in its 63rd year, EIFF is the longest continuously running film festival in the world. It began in 1947 as a champion of documentary films and has expanded to include the full gamut of features, documentaries and short films and is currently under the artistic directorship of Hannah McGill.
The programme was announced on May 6 and includes a
Roger Corman retrospective, plus UK premieres of
Rudo Y Cursi,
Moon and
Mary and Max. The festival opens on June 17 with Sam Mendes'
Away We Go and closes on June 28 with the international premiere of Adam.
