“The festival’s role as the home of independent cinema in the UK is coming into its own: strengthening its international premiere platform and bringing together filmmakers and the screen community for the urgent conversations affecting our industry.”

Among the films selected for EIFF 2026 are ‘Hungry’, shot by Job Reineke and ‘Skintown’, shot by Ruairí O’Brien, BSC ISC. Congrats to Job, Ruairí and the teams of both films!
