The Circuit

It’s no small thing for a fest to move their dates, and Variety’s Adam Dawtrey writes why.  The Edinburgh International Film Festival announced they’re moving from August to June starting next year -- from Toronto and Venice’s cramped apartment to a roomy flat overlooking the end of Karlovy Vary.  "June will give us the breathing space to expand and create our own distinct identity," says artistic director Hannah McGill.  But as Dawtrey writes, the film festival’s desire to separate itself from the month-long Edinburgh Festival could affect everything from film selection to celeb attendance.  (Mike Jones)
