Young Scottish Filmmaker Prize 2

25 March

Glasgow Film Theatre and Eden Court Highlands have once again joined forces with Glasgow Short Film Festival to deliver the Young Scottish Filmmakers Prize, supported by the BFI Film Academy (awarding funds from the National Lottery) and in association with BFI Film Academy SCENE. The prize is delivered in consultation with Short Circuit and GMAC Film.

The competition is open to young filmmakers aged 18-25, and judged by festival programmers and a jury of young people. We present the shortlisted films in two programmes, and the winners will be announced at the closing awards on Sunday 26 March.

This second programme showcases shortlisted films by filmmakers who have completed a film with support, whether from university or college, an organisation like GMAC Film, a programme like BFI Film Academy or who have received funding or technical assistance. 

All films captioned for d/Deaf viewers.
