EFP 61: The Return of Filmhouse with Rod White

This mini episode of the podcast marks the re-opening of Filmhouse, Edinburgh’s beloved independent cinema which was forced to close in October 2022 when its parent company went into administration. After the closure, a crowdfunding campaign was set up and support also came in from the Scottish and UK governments. The campaign to re-open Filmhouse as a brand-new organisation was spearheaded by four former Filmhouse employees Ginnie Atkinson, David Boyd, James Rice and Rod White.

In November 2023, David and Rod joined host Dr Pasquale Iannone on a special episode of Edinburgh Film Podcast (EFP 39) where they spoke of their long associations with the cinema and their plans for the re-opening. At that time, there was a certain amount of optimism, but the re-opening was by no means a done deal. This week - more than 30 months after Filmhouse closed - the doors have finally re-opened.

In this episode, Pasquale catches up with Programme Director Rod White - they discuss the new screens (including a brand-new fourth screen), the revamped cafe bar as well as the opening programme of films.
