Edinburgh International Film Festival 2023
Booking opens at noon on Friday for all the films in the 2023 programme which runs for a shortened six day long run. The opening film is Silent Roar which is set on the Isle of Lewis and features a teenage surfer. There is much to read in the programme which you can see on the website now. And there will be a whole weekend of Cinema Under the Stars in the Old College Quad in a new use of the space which lent itself so beautifully to an almost outdoor space under canvas a couple of years ago.
The Red Arrows
Perhaps the best bit of the royal events in the capital on Wednesday was the appearance of the Red Arrows.
It is always thrilling when they fly over the city – and on Wednesday they were trailing their signature red, white and blue colours.
Here you can watch the flight from one of the cockpits…
