"The alliance between the film and literature has been one of the most powerful forces in the development of cinema. For over a century cinema has found inspiration in the libraries of the world and in return has lent a new dimension to some literary masterpieces." - Allen Wright, EIFF 1962
For this challenge, we have compiled a list of book-based films which have screened at Edinburgh International Film Festival over the years.
