Cinema entertainment in Edinburgh

  1. A

    Dominion

    The much-loved Dom is a delightful, independent, family-run four-screener in a 1938 art deco building. The programme is unashamedly mainstream and family-oriented, and popular films often have a good old-fashioned intermission so you can buy an ice cream halfway through.

  2. B

    Filmhouse

    The Filmhouse is the main venue for the annual Edinburgh International Film Festival and screens a full program of art-house, classic, foreign and second-run films, with lots of themes, retrospectives and 70mm screenings. It has wheelchair access to all three screens.

    Cameo

    The three-screen, independently owned Cameo is a good, old-fashioned cinema showing an imaginative mix of mainstream and art-house movies. There is a good program of midnight movies and Sunday matinees, and the seats in Screen 1 are big enough to get lost in.

    VUE Cinema

    A 12-screen multiplex, with three ‘VIP’ screens where you can pay extra to watch from a luxurious leather reclining seat complete with side table for your drink and complimentary snacks.

    Cineworld Fountainpark

    The Cineworld is a massive 12-screen multiplex complete with cafe-bar, movie-poster shop and frighteningly overpriced popcorn.
