Edinburgh Film Festival June 17-28th

I am an independent filmmaker from Vancouver/Los Angeles and now residing in Dubai and will be attending the film festival. Are there any other folks on here that will be going? What else is a must do/must see while I am in town?

I have lots of family in Scotland since my Dad is from Glasgow so will be visiting other places too, but have no family in Edinburgh anymore. Will be staying with a couple locals from courchsurfing.org but still have a couple nights that I need hosting... Any takers?
