[BBC] Edinburgh Filmhouse supporters launch £2m bid to save cinema
[Scotsman] Edinburgh Filmhouse: Crowdfunder campaign launched to 'raise £2m in a fortnight' to save cinema

[Crowdfunder] Save Filmhouse Cinema
Filmhouse has been at the bedrock of Edinburgh's film culture for decades.
It is now under grave threat. Our goal is to save the building so that a new Filmhouse can support Edinburgh's film culture for generations to come.
Filmhouse opened at 88 Lothian Road in 1979. From 2010 it was run by the Centre for the Moving Image (CMI), which went into administration on October 6th, 2022. The same entity also ran the Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) and the Belmont Filmhouse in Aberdeen.
To pay CMI’s debts, the Filmhouse building has now been closed and put up for sale. The closing date for offers is 7 December 2022. Losing Filmhouse would be a terrible blow against cine-culture and the Arts in Edinburgh; but it is not too late.

As an Edinburgh resident who has many fond memories of going to SLA over the years, it would be great if we could find a way to save the Filmhouse.
