Edinburgh Filmhouse, Independent cinema in Lothian Road, Edinburgh, Scotland
The Edinburgh Filmhouse occupies a converted church building with three screening rooms, featuring neoclassical architectural elements and a cafe-bar area on Lothian Road.
Built in 1831 as United Presbyterian Church and designed by architect David Bryce, the structure transformed into a cinema venue in 1979.
The cinema functions as a central venue for international film screenings, festivals, and educational programs that serve the Scottish film community.
Following its acquisition by Caledonian Heritable in 2023, the cinema received £1.4 million in government funding for renovations and plans to reopen in summer 2024.
The building maintains its original church exterior while housing specialized projection equipment for both digital and analogue film presentations.
