“Everybody’s raising this Rashomon thing, but I feel that it’s fundamentally different from Rashomon, because in Rashomon, each character, when they go back through the story again, they actually end up being a different character within the film, within the story, whatever specific story it is,” Hirokazu Kore-eda told us last fall regarding Monster. “Whereas with this, the people don’t change, but the monster who appears, appears in different places.

The Edinburgh International Film Festival is back.
The Scottish festival returned Friday evening with the Scottish drama Silent Roar, the opening film of what organizers have described as a scaled-down, “special one-year iteration,” which will relaunch the fest following its brief closure last year after the collapse of its owner the Centre for the Moving Image (Cmi).
Execs at the Cmi appointed administrators in October. At the time of administration, a statement from the Cmi said a “perfect storm” of rising costs and falling admissions numbers due to the pandemic had been exacerbated by the current cost of living crisis.
The Eiff brand was later retrieved by Screen Scotland, a national funding body, and this year the Edinburgh International Festival, a wider cultural event in the Scottish capital, is facilitating film events with infrastructure such as ticketing, finance, and logistics so that it can host guests.

Edinburgh International Film Festival (Eiff) head Kate Taylor has put together what she describes as an “eclectic and lively” mix of titles for her first year at the helm.
Running Aug 18-23, this year’s edition is also Edinburgh’s return after effectively shutting down at the tale end of last year when the Centre for the Moving Image (Cmi), the charity that owned the fest, appointed administrators. Eiff ceased trading alongside two revered local arthouse cinemas owned by the Cmi: Edinburgh Filmhouse and Belmont Filmhouse in Aberdeen.
In December, Screen Scotland, a national funding body, announced that it had acquired intellectual rights to the festival. Shortly after, former head Kristy Matheson departed for the top job at London Film Festival, and Taylor took the reigns. Screen Scotland has since hired Trainspotting producer Andrew Macdonald to create and chair a new governing board to deliver and steer the festival alongside Taylor moving forward.
