We are excited to share information and a link to apply for a new fully 
funded PhD studentship through the Scottish Graduate School for the Arts 
and Humanities, in collaboration with Queen Margaret University, 
University of Edinburgh and the National Library of Scotland.

Documenting Edinburgh International Film Festival: An archival history 
of one the world’s longest established and running film festivals

This project investigates the history and local and international 
impacts of Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF), one of the 
world’s longest established and running film festivals. Since its 
inception in 1947, EIFF has been a prominent international showcase of 
cinema and a platform for local Scottish and British film talent. 
Cataloguing, preserving and analysing the National Library of Scotland 
(NLS)’s extensive archival holdings on EIFF, as well as locating and 
scoping EIFF-related materials held elsewhere, the project combines 
close reading of audiovisual material and text-based festival ephemera 
through festival studies methodologies to map the networks, curatorial 
logics and archival gaps that have defined EIFF’s history.

This is a PhD in collaboration with the NLS, and is jointly funded by 
the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities (SGSAH), Queen 
Margaret University (QMU) and The University of Edinburgh (UoE). The 
project supervisors are Dr Chris Cassells (NLS), Dr Robert Munro (QMU) 
and Prof. Jonathan Murray (UoE).
