Closure of Edinburgh Filmhouse

Lodged by Foysol Choudhury Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the efforts of citizens and community groups who protested on World Arts Day against the closure of the Edinburgh Filmhouse on 15 April 2023; understands that the Filmhouse was a community lifeline for many people; believes that communities should have cultural spaces that encourage the sharing of art and culture, and that these are vital for community development; considers that funding must be increased to local authorities so that community centres can have the necessary funds to support themselves; encourages people to support the arts and culture and to promote their importance; believes that the continued support and promotion of art and culture can help to highlight the needs of community groups and provide a more inclusive environment, and hopes to see the Edinburgh Filmhouse restored in the future.
