Congratulations Tilda Swinton, one of Edinburgh International Film Festival’s (EIFF) honorary patrons – for winning the 2008 BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress in February 2008.

8 JUNE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL PROGRAMME RELEASED: just as eagerly awaited, film buffs are now leafing through this year's offerings. 2008's season will close with a user-generated film called Fainthearted, created via the input of MySpace enthusiasts.

Exclusive on Fresh Talent

Previous years are a good indicator of what you might expect: Mrs Brown, The Full Monty, East is East, The Flying Scotsman, Billy Elliot, Amelie, Motorcycle Diaries, and Tsotsi. Pure celluloid pleasure. Red-carpet star-spotting – everyone who’s anyone will be in town to see international, documentaries shorts and interviews with stars. Your own 3*-5* glamour!

EIFF 2008 NOW IN JUNE

Love Edinburgh, loathe the August crowds? Festival organisers are gambling on you making the most of extra breathing space as they bump the Festival forward to June. Just minutes from the cinemas, elegant Charlotte Square or budget New Town could be where you call home while you’re in town? Chill out in your own lounge and linger over your post-film review sessions with friends!
