Edinburgh film and television festival developments

Overview

The Edinburgh International Film Festival announced its 2026 Industry Programme, scheduled for 13–19 August at the Festival Hub in Central Hall. The program focuses on challenges within independent cinema, including financing, low-budget production, and shifts in the UK film market. The schedule includes the inaugural UK Film Conference on 15 August.

Concurrently, the long-running Edinburgh TV Festival is relocating to Greater Manchester after 51 years. In response, Screen Scotland is exploring the launch of a new Scottish TV festival in Edinburgh to maintain connections between local production businesses and industry decision-makers. Recommendations for this new festival have been prepared following discussions with approximately 20 local industry leaders.
