BBC World News - Edinburgh Festivals 2020, Episode One

As the biggest arts festival is on hold, this film captures the spirit of Edinburgh.

As the biggest arts festival in the world is on hold, this film captures the spirit of Edinburgh and brings highlights of new shows and events.

This year the biggest arts festival in the world is on hold but these two films capture the spirit of Edinburgh and bring highlights of new shows and events from the festival Fringe, the Book Festival and the International Festival which are happening within the constraints of the Covid lockdown. We hear stories of how creatives have worked under lockdown and managed to create shows to entertain us. Presented by comedians Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Lolly Adefope they will light-heartedly aim to recreate the Festival atmosphere, capture the spirit of Edinburgh 2020 and tell the story of how the city became host to the largest, most accessible and creative arts festival in the world.
