<p>Cultural cinema programme activity in Edinburgh is a matter for the Scottish Government,
since this is a devolved policy area. Following the Centre for the Moving Image (CMI)
going into administration in October 2022, Screen Scotland purchased the intellectual
property for the Edinburgh International Film Festival.</p><p>DCMS officials have
spoken to the British Film Institute (BFI) about this issue. The BFI operates UK-wide
and has a close working relationship with Creative Scotland and its dedicated screen
agency, Screen Scotland. Throughout the period covered by the British Film Institute’s
previous corporate strategy, British Film Institute 2022, Screen Scotland has been
its delivery partner for the National Lottery-backed British Film Institute NETWORK
programme, Short Circuit. The British Film Institute’s new strategy, Screen Culture
2033, is UK-wide and Scotland-based applicants are able to apply for applicable National
Lottery funds.</p>
