| | | Dear omss,
What a palette of autumn colour we're now surrounded with. I love this change in the season, as it brings with it the autumn /winter programme from Edinburgh's impressive visual arts sector. So whether you are looking to while away a rainy day, thinking about Christmas present ideas, new to the city, or entertaining visitors Edinburgh's galleries are brimming with experiences and inspirations. There's over 35 permanent galleries in the city - that's one a week with time off for good behaviour! Joanne Brown Edinburgh Art Festival

Stills
Until Sunday 24 October
Screening daily 11am - 6pm Free
Curated by Dr Sarah Smith
Stills' Film Lounge presents an exciting new programme of films that evoke the poetic in the moving image.
Ranging from the poignant to the playful, these films either engage directly with literature or experiment with the pure poetry of abstraction. Through orchestrated layers of image and sound they each provide absorbing moments that resonate long after we've stopped looking.
The programme brings together works by Orcadian poet, painter and filmmaker, Margaret Tait, Scottish Italian writer, academic and amateur filmmaker Enrico Cocozza, key feminist experimental film-maker of 1980s and 1990s, Sandra Lahire and more recent works by Glasgow based artists Stephen Sutcliffe and Katy Dove.
