Edinburgh Film Festival looks for 'reboot'
Sex and the City actress Kim Cattrall stars in Meet Monica Velour
The revamped Edinburgh International Film Festival is beginning its 11-day run in the Scottish capital.
At 65, it is the oldest continually-running film festival in the world but it has had a difficult year.
Since last June the festival has lost its artistic director and a large proportion of its funding.
New director James Mullighan wants to rebrand the festival as "the brain" of the UK film industry, dispensing with red carpets, photocalls and awards.
The film festival runs from 15 to 26 June.
It will feature more than 60 international, European and UK premieres.
Highlights include the European premiere of David Mackenzie's Glasgow-set sci-fi thriller Perfect Sense, starring Ewan McGregor and Eva Green.
The film, to be shown on Saturday, has been moved from The Cameo to the 1,500-seater Edinburgh Festival Theatre venue due to a sell-out of advance tickets.
