The Filmhouse is to host the following event:

Hannah McGill, Artistic Director of the Edinburgh International Film Festival:
Creating Scotland on Film

on Wednesday 9 December 2009 6.30pm

Chair: Dr Richard Butt, Head of Media, Communication & Sociology, QMU

Presented by Queen Margaret University.
The eighteenth series of The Edinburgh Lectures presents and discusses Making Scotland.

The theme for 2009/10 is ‘Making Scotland’, focussing on “how physical, political, commercial, and cultural issues shape our country and its people and Scotland’s role on the global stage." In part, the theme ties into the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Scottish Parliament.

Ten leading organisations work in partnership to bring together the lectures and debates across our inspiring capital. The events take place through autumn and winter and are open to everyone. So why not get your tickets, sit back and enjoy these fascinating, thought provoking and emotive events.
