Edinburgh Short Film Festival 2016: Call For Entries Now Open!
The Edinburgh Short Film Festival is now open for submission for 2016.
We’re screening the best in contemporary short film in Scotland’s beautiful & ancient capital city in October/November 2016 at The Filmhouse, the Cameo Cinema and Summerhall.
The best submissions for 2016 will also be included in our short film programming for other festivals across the UK and internationally.
This year we’re planning some very exciting collaboration projects and we’re working with Japan’s biggest short film festival, Short Shorts Film Festival who’ll be visiting this year and we’re taking this years shorts to Tokyo the following June. We’re also curating short film programmes for the the Sardinia Film Festival this year, as well as Hidden Door in May, Edinburgh’s own, unique, arts festival.
In addition to that, we’re working with the Rio Short Film Festival and bringing Brazil’s best short films to Edinburgh while we’re also programming for their 2016 festival.
And on top of all that, we’re also programming for the Scots Day Out festival in Australia next February, so we’re pretty much coast to coast!
We’ll also be holding funding workshops, pavement cinema sessions and networking events and if that’s not enough, we’re offering the Rising Star Award for the most promising new film-maker with a cash prize, tickets to film festivals, offers of work and the Rising Star Trophy sponsored by the Matthew Martino Benevolent Fund.
Short films of any genre are eligible for submission, maximum length 20 minutes
