People Educated At Broughton High School, Edinburgh
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of p ...

Film Producer
A film producer is a person who oversees film production. Either employed by a production company or working independently, producers plan and coordinate various aspects of film production, such as selecting the script, coordinating writing, directing, editing, and arranging financing. The producer is responsible for finding and selecting promising material for development. Unless the film is based on an existing script, the producer hires a screenwriter and oversees the script's development. These activities culminate with the pitch, led by the producer, to secure the financial backing that enables production to begin. If all succeeds, the project is " greenlighted". The producer also supervises the pre-production, principal photography and post-production stages of filmmaking.

The East End Film Festival was one of the UK's largest film festivals. It ceased all operations on 4 March 2020. The owner, Alison Poltock, explained that "the push to provide a more mainstream commercial offering is not for us."

Originally set up by the East London borough of Tower Hamlets as a platform to recognise local filmmakers, its initial success led to a partnership in 2003 with neighbouring London Borough of Hackney, London Borough of Newham, the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, and the Raindance Film Festival which ran Raindance East as part of its official selection. As a result of this partnership, the festival was rebranded as Raindance East from 2003 to 2005, but returned to its original East End Film Festival state in 2006.

Ainslie Park High School
Ainslie Park High School was a state secondary school in East Pilton, Edinburgh, Scotland. History The school was designed by James Stewart Johnston in the mid-1930s, but building work was delayed until after World War II and construction started in 1949. The school was originally to be called Pilton Intermediate School. From its opening in 1948 until 1965 it was a junior secondary school, meaning pupils left at the end of their third academic year. If they wished to sit O-grade examinations they had to move on to another school. The 1965/66 academic year saw the school attain senior secondary status, thereby allowing pupils to remain into fourth year to sit O-grade exams. The school subsequently expanded the academic syllabus to offer Higher examinations. The school colours were red and gold and the badge was a golden dolphin on a red background. The first headmaster was Norman Murchison, who was also a well known commentator on post-war education; in 1968 he delivered the ...
