HOW TO DO EIFF

CHOOSING FILMS AND EVENTS

The hardest part – but we like to make it easy! We’ve divided our brochure into strands – grouped by themes and focuses – and included an introduction to explain each one. Each strand in the festival programme will also have a headline film and an older retrospective film, which both address the strand’s flavour.
