Edinburgh Film Festival visit to Filmhouse + drinks/snacks/catch up afterwards

Vegan Edinburgh trip to an Edinburgh Film Festival showing at the newly restored Edinburgh Filmhouse. The film is called: Once You Shall be One of those who Lived Long Ago.

There is a lovely bar at Filmhouse we can gather in afterwards for drinks, snacks, reflections.

As EFF describe: An affecting, gorgeously crafted documentary about the remaining people in Malmberget in north Sweden, a small town slowly collapsing into the mines beneath it. As residents reflect on the once vibrant community, the town itself is gradually dismantled around them.
Beautifully shot, with a dreamy, otherworldly sense of place and time, and featuring warm, interesting characters whose stoicism is accompanied by a deeper sadness. Haunting, reflective and deeply cinematic, this is a dignified and thoughtful rumination on change, loss and grief alongside the strength of community and the resilience of the natural world.

Please note the film is in Swedish with English subtitles and lasts 95 minutes. It is unclear from the website how many tickets remain, the film festival is popular so I would suggest booking a ticket once you plan to come. There are four showings, please check yours is Aug 17, 2025 at 16:15 @ Filmhouse.
