The organisation behind the Edinburgh film festival has submitted a planning application for a £50m film centre that would be the first of its kind in the UK.
The Filmhouse is home to the Edinburgh international film festival (EIFF) and more than 20 other film festivals throughout the year.
This will provide a new state-of-the art home for Filmhouse and Edinburgh international film festival, but at its heart this is for the citizens of Edinburgh and Scotland and the entire film industry.”
The building in Festival Square would replace the Filmhouse, an old church transformed into a film theatre in 1979.
