Filmhouse – Open the Doors!

Nearly there...!

It is clear from the constant flow of donations that people want to support the future of Filmhouse. The Crowdfunder has been a huge success and has enabled Filmhouse to look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

We are still fundraising to make sure we have enough to cover all the costs incurred as we ramp up the new Filmhouse organisation – and for key improvements such as accessibility (a lift to the offices and an improved platform lift in the concourse), and minimising environmental impact  by installing secondary glazing. So if you are here with a view to support us, please do. 

Any funds we can raise here will make a real difference to the future of Filmhouse. 

Do tell your friends, family and colleagues – who may have been meaning to donate – to pop on here and give what they can. 

It would be great to hit the £350K target before we close the Crowdfunder.

As we were successful in our bid for Levelling Up Community Ownership Funding – crucially supplemented by the funds gathered here – we are now experiencing noise and dust and the smell of new timber in the building as the construction crew move us towards an anticipated opening in June 2025!

Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed here. Filmhouse will re-open its doors very soon.

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase the value of your donation by 25% by adding Gift Aid. 

If you are considering a donation over £5000, we'd welcome a conversation with you.

Thank you to the City of Edinburgh Council and by Screen Scotland/ Creative Scotland for their contribution of essential development funds since the project began. 

The goal is to open a new Filmhouse that continues to deliver the same sheer diversity of film programming as was ever the case; the most exceptional range of cultural film all year round – in a revitalised cinema building. And we are almost there.
