   • An undeniable downside of positioning the festival in August is increased costs. There isn’t a cupboard spare in Edinburgh across the month, with transport costs also inflated. EIFF moved to June in 2008, with Kristy Matheson, now director of the BFI London Film Festival, moving it back to August for her one edition in charge of EIFF, in 2022.
