This year's Edinburgh International Film Festival opened with Irish cop comedy drama The Guard on June 15 and will run until the 26th. The 65th EIFF brought together filmmakers from all around the world with a focus on independent work.

It included a strong short film strand featuring unusual experimental work, and this year there was a science strand with famous scientists attending to explain to audiences how what you see in the movies might work in real life. There were 60 UK premieres and despite the lack of red carpets this year a number of celebrities were in attendance.
