, for example, because it’s a film that asks the question: What would happen to your community if you didn’t exist?” Cousins said. “So there’s a nice little thing there of what will happen to our city of Edinburgh and our country of Scotland if the Filmhouse and the film festival don’t exist?”
Staff members working at the Edinburgh Film Festival and both Filmhouse sites have been made redundant. The Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said her government would engage with Edinburgh city councils and Creative Scotland to consider whether “there is any support” that can be provided to the CMI after news of the administration broke.
