To celebrate the little bear with the big heart, sponsors Mackays will be serving up complimentary Dundee Marmalade sandwiches at the Paddington and Paddington 2 screenings, which will also play host to a fancy dress competition.
EIFF artistic director Mark Adams said: “Our annual selection of free screenings are always the perfect way to get in the movie mood in the weekend before the Film Festival begins. From Casablanca to The Greatest Showman, this is a selection of great films that will appeal to film fans young and old.”
