EIFF & Filmhouse closures; Triangle of Sadness; Decision to Leave; The Banshees of Inisherin

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

We look forward to three of the buzziest titles from this summer's festival circuit coming to cinemas over the next two weeks. There's Triangle of Sadness from Swedish director Ruben Östlund, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes; Decision to Leave, a silky piece of neo-noir from Korean director Park Chan-wook, which won Park the Best Director award at Cannes; And The Banshees of Inisherin, which sees Martin McDonagh reunited with ​​Colin Farrell and Brenden Gleeson; Farrell won Best Actor when the film played at Venice Film Festival.

All this great cinema coming out is soured, however, by the brutal closure of the Edinburgh Film Festival, the Filmhouse in Edinburgh and the Belmont in Aberdeen, which all closed their doors two weeks ago, seemingly for good, when the organisation in charge of them, the Centre for the Moving Image, collapsed due to insolvency. We discuss the devastating effect this will have on the Scottish film community.
