Filmhouse fundraiser
The fundraiser for opening the doors at Filmhouse has now reached almost £140,000. If you would like Filmhouse to be able to reopen then the charity which is largely made up of former employees needs your help. You will find the crowdfunder here.
Not long after the fundraiser opened in mid September, Director Ginnie Atkinson said: ““The Crowdfunder has got off to a terrific start having raised £55K (not including Gift Aid) after 6 days of action . We have also had other donations amounting to around £20K. This is all very encouraging to say the least.”

“If you have an interest in being the next Chair of the CC, so much the better.
“If you want to get more information and have an informal chat with the current Chair and/or other members of the CC, please email correspondence@junipergreencc.org.uk.”

At the Scottish International Storytelling Festival
On 22 October the evening entertainment is Orpheus | Orfeo
The story of Orpheus and Eurydice gets a Scottish twist in this dark and dangerous telling of the famous Greek myth. For this first time ever, the Shetland ballad of King Orfeo is swirled into the murky depths of Hades’ underworld. Storyteller Daniel Serridge, singer Heather Cartwright and harpist Neil Wood explore grief and loss, inspired by the words of people who live and work most closely with it. They will take you deep below the earth and back again, pushing you forward, dragging you home and demanding that you don’t look back!
8pm (1hr) at The Scottish Storytelling Centre on the Royal Mile. Box office: 0131 556 9579
