This autumn and winter, enhance your programme with a selection of our gorgeous shorts.
A supporting short film is a great way introduce exciting upcoming Scottish and international filmmakers to a wider audience, broaden your programme and generate a dialogue between short and feature.
We’re offering Scottish cinemas and film societies a slate of seven shorts from their 2024 Festival to screen before features. The shorts include fiction, documentary, animation and family films, with durations ranging from 2 to 7 minutes to enable a variety programming contexts. None of the films have BBFC certification, but recommended certificates are provided, and we have included a couple of titles suitable for the youngest cinemagoers.
Venue programmers can choose which short they wish to screen alongside which feature, making this a collaborative curatorial process. The shorts are listed in the Venue Pack below, with included theme and genre tags, as well as some pairing suggestions.
