Taking place at the Cameo Picturehouse, this year’s documentaries navigate the themes of identity, relationships and family bonds, social issues and personal challenges.

Featuring 7 films by independent filmmakers from 7 different countries, the 2025 programme celebrates diversity and becomes a place of expression for as many voices as possible. 

This year’s feature film is Martijn van de Griendt’s The Holy Trinity, a coming-of-age film that explores friendship, loss and insecurity. While the Short Docs selection travels from Italy and Germany to Estonia Iceland, the United Kingdom and Greece.

Cameo Picturehouse is located on Home Street in Tollcross. Several Lothian Buses services run regularly to the area, including 1, 11, 16, 22 and 24.

Further details and the full programme can be found on Close:Up Edinburgh Docufest.
