Edinburgh is a film city through and through. The city has appeared as a backdrop for films from Trainspotting to Greyfriar's Bobby and the number of Edinburgh Cinemas has always been plentiful.

Edinburgh has a busy film festival calendar throughout the year, but the best-known festival event is the Edinburgh International Film Festival which takes place in June. This is just one of many arts festivals that takes place in the Scottish capital during the Summer months, the busiest time being August when artists and performers descend from all over the world on the Scottish capital for what has been dubbed "the biggest arts festival in the world."
