Connecting the film community — offline since 2018, online since 2025.
From outdoor screenings to festival coverage, from networking nights to doc clubs – we've been connecting Scotland's film community since 2018. Now we've also gone digital with an online platform designed by film people, for film people.
Cinetopia is a hub of activity around filmmaking and filmgoing based in Edinburgh. We create events and content for both the general public as well as film industry professionals, bringing the film community together.
What we do
FILM & INDUSTRY EVENTS
Monthly doc clubs and industry networking nights, eventised distribution & film tours, masterclasses, outdoor festivals, and pop-up screenings. We don't just show films – we create experiences that build community.
CINETOPIA CONNECT
Our online hub where the local film community can actually connect.
CINETOPIA RECOMMENDS
Our weekly Substack that delivers the best local film events, film opportunities, and industry news across Scotland and UK straight to your inbox.
CINETOPIA SHOP
Handmade merchandise inspired by our love of film, plus collaborations with local designers and artists. Film merch that doesn't look like corporate swag.
CINETOPIA RADIO & PODCAST
Monthly on EHFM since 2018. Festival coverage from the ground up, filmmaker interviews that go deeper, and reviews that tell you what's actually worth your time.
CINETOPIA PRODUCTIONS
We make things too. Site-specific archive and multi-media installations, documentaries, and client work. If it involves moving images and good stories, we're interested.

KIM'S VIDEO on tour!
“An ode to the love of cinema, this film will strike a chord with anyone who has ever rented a movie.”
Kim’s Video follows modern-day cinephile and filmmaker, David Redmon, on a seemingly quixotic quest to track down the whereabouts of the massive video collection of the now-defunct Kim’s Video, an iconic NYC video rental store with more than 55,000 beloved and rare movies.
Cinetopia is taking this film on tour accros the UK from 15 March. Check out the film at a theatre near you!
