Close:Up Edinburgh Docufest

The Close:Up Edinburgh Docufest covers a wide range of observational and experimental documentaries, fresh student films and shorts addressing social and environmental issues.

Launched for the first time in 2018, EDF brings documentary and non-fiction storytelling to the heart of Edinburgh. With the vision to be more than a film festival, the Edinburgh Docufest takes place in local venues of historical significance that can serve as a connecting platform between the audience and filmmakers.

Drawing energy from Edinburgh’s bustling atmosphere and long history in the arts, our film festival comes as a fresh addition to steer independent cinema and give voice to all.
