I have a theory that, regardless of everybody’s personal tastes and fortes, we have a shared passion for really good films. The diversity lies in our own tastes; something that I’m sure people debate over for hours on end. Heck – even I enjoy a good film debate too!
Throughout my time writing for The Edinburgh Reporter, I have prided myself on providing reviews of films that our readers are either desperate to see or should grab the chance to while they can.
In the past, I have reported from Glasgow Film Festival and BFI London Film Festival, giving me the chance to see a wide array of films from all across the globe. But our biggest move will come in May, as I head to Cannes to report from their prestigious film festival for eight whole days.
I am intent on bringing our readers a rare, first glimpse into the films that are playing at the festival, before they arrive on Scottish shores over the course of the next year. It will give you a good head start when it comes to the release of the Edinburgh Film Festival program later in the month of May – allowing you to hand pick your programme based on our recommendations!
It will be a hectic, exciting time and we intend to bring you comprehensive coverage through a variety of media including news and reviews as soon as the films have been shown in the prestigious Grand Théâtre Lumière!
Our news coverage has already begun, but with the official programme announcement on 16 April and the festival starting just a month later, you will be sure to have a whole lot of movie news to set your eyes upon!
