Over 70,000 attend 2017 Edinburgh International Film Festival

Over 70,000 people attended the 2017 Edinburgh International Film Festival.

It was the festival's 70th anniversary year and the sixth consecutive year that it grew in popularity.

The 12-day event included over 150 features from 46 different countries.

Stars such as Stanley Tucci, Kevin Bacon and Richard E Grant also attended the festival.

Inaugurated in 1947, Edinburgh International Film Festival is the world's longest continually-running film festival.

It was a great year for UK talent also. We spoke to Josh O'Connor at the UK premiere of 'God's Own Country'.
