Edinburgh Filmhouse set to reopen following funding boost
www.bbc.co.uk
The independent cinema has received a £1.5m grant from the UK government.

Great news this, was such a shame to see the Filmhouse closed. So glad it’s not been turned into a chain pub or something.

    This is a miracle. I was also scared we’d get another weatherspoons or something.

    The HMV Picturehouse closing was a scarring experience for me.

      I remember it when it was Century 2000! ;-)

        Saw so many good shows there - Mars Volta, De La Soul, Gong, Wu Tang Clan…

        I wish that we had another gig venue like that but nothing really replaced it. Leith Theatre is maybe the closest.

          I’m hoping the proposed new place near the Gyle gets the go ahead. Although I’d always prefer a city centre venue where possible!
