SUMMARY:Edinburgh International Film Festival - Early Bird Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Edinburgh\, Scotland\nUnited Kingdom\n  \nABOUT THE EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL\nThe original festival. We’re the one that started it all\, the igniting spark which established Edinburgh as the world’s Festival City.\nOur Origin Story\nFounded in 1947\, the International Festival was the inspired idea of Rudolf Bing\, a cultural pioneer and Jewish refugee of the Nazi regime. \nHe joined with civic and artistic leaders to create an event that would transcend political boundaries through a global celebration of performing arts in Scotland’s beloved capital city. Over the following 76 years the International Festival has flourished\, deepening our commitment to artistic excellence and cultural curiosity. Meanwhile\, sister festivals have grown up around us\, each of them contributing to the atmosphere of unparalleled excitement that transforms the city every summer. \nOur Festival\nWe welcome the world to Edinburgh to experience our hand-picked programme of the finest performers in dance\, opera\, music and theatre. Through their artistry we create space for reflection and reconciliation\, debate and celebration\, bringing people of different cultures and viewpoints together. \nOur Impact\nShining far beyond what you see on stage\, we aim to be a beacon for the enormous creativity\, curiosity and potential held within individuals\, communities and our nation. We offer year-round pathways for people of all ages and backgrounds to discover and participate in live performance\, and to help shape the future of our Festival. By nurturing the next generation of artists – from inspiring primary schoolchildren to mentoring rising stars – we want this legacy to be felt for years to come. \nOur Vision\nOur vision is simple: to provide the deepest experience of the highest quality art for the broadest possible audience. \nAudience Manifesto\n\nLive performance is most thrilling when audiences and artists are in communion with one another. What we each bring into the room matters.\nWe invite you to listen\, gather\, seek\, and feel with us. Sometimes we listen so deeply we hear every breath in the room; at other times we gather with a joyful roar! We’ll make sure you know what to expect.\nWe want you to feel truly welcome at our events. We ask and listen to what you need\, aiming to remove barriers through our Access Pass\, range of prices\, concessions and friendly staff.\nThere is always something new to discover – we hope our audio introductions\, post-show talks and ‘inside out’ concerts will reward your curiosity\, whether you’re here for the first time or you’ve been with us through the decades.\nThere is no singular view on why a symphony matters\, what makes opera relatable\, or how dance makes us feel. If you seek context and depth\, we will connect you with the human stories behind these works of art.\nWe present you a window to the world. Encounter familiar stories in other languages or from radically different perspectives. Bring an open heart and mind\, and we’ll provide specific guidance for those who want to feel more prepared.\n\n  \nDEADLINES & FEES\nOpening Submission Date\nJanuary 23\, 2024 \nNotification Date\nJune 30\, 2024 \nEvent Date\nAugust 15-21\, 2024 \n  \n\n\n\n\nEarly Bird\nRegular\nLate\n\n\nFeature Films\nMarch 8\, 2024: $60\nMarch 29\, 2024: $70\nApril 19\, 2024: $85\n\n\nShort Films\nMarch 8\, 2024: $25\nMarch 29\, 2024: $35\nApril 19\, 2024: $40\n\n\n\nVisit the Edinburgh International Film Festival website for more information. \n  \n\n\nVIEW THE EVENT CALENDAR
