Big love to Channel 4 Film4 happy birthday! 🥳 Thank you for your work. Thank you for inspiring me and giving the world so many unforgettable films. Thanks for helping me procrastinate when I was at Uni. Proud to be part of the club. Here’s to 40 more years 🥂 #channel4 #film4

I realise there are mixed views on this, but I think Edinburgh should fight tooth & nail to ensure this remains a home for cinema. Historic picture houses have been revived & rejuvenated across Scotland in modern times. It would be a tragedy if Edinburgh cannot do the same.

WHAT A GADGE

The thought has crossed my mind. The woeful current crop of councillors seem far more interested in trees and cycle lanes than sustaining the city’s cultural treasures.

This means three attempts at keeping it as a cinema have now failed and clearly not for a lack of interested parties. It’s baffling that the future of the Filmhouse seems to now be a mere financial equation.

Iranian actor Taraneh Alidoosti has been arrested for denouncing state murder of protestor. I've just made film about Mussolini. This is Iranian Fascism. Regime is like the blackshirts. Shame on it for its misogyny. It continues to wreck one of the world's greatest countries.

The Filmhouse is not a relic of the golden film days, it’s the most important cinema in Edinburgh and it was shockingly allowed to fall into the hands of administrators - it must be saved! #SaveTheFilmhouse

“I am struck by the alarming level of tolerance to serious human rights violations against refugees, asylum seekers and migrants that has developed across Europe,” says Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatovic, in Lampedusa today. coe.int/en/web/commiss…

Tonight is the night! To mark #WorldRefugeeDay we’re having our network premiere of #limbofilm on @film4 and what better way to do with a Limbo-Local Hero double bill 💪🙌 catch me chatting about Local Hero for Film4 40th bday ❤️

Limbo is one of the best films of the last ten years & Ben Sharrock is a genius. Please don’t be put off by the fact that I’m in this film for a couple of minutes

This indie film industry is FULL of wealth and privilege, they are the only people who are able to do this full time without another job. It is quite frankly appalling that we allow so much talent, and with it the cultural value of their stories, to be pushed out.
