This year’s Edinburgh Short Film Festival is once again screening the best in contemporary international short cinema alongside Scottish & UK short films at venues across Scotland’s ancient capital including The Cameo Cinema and Summerhall. Do you have a short you would like to submit to one of the UK’s most prestigious film festivals? Get it in before the final deadline on Monday, June 29, 2015.
From The Edinburgh Short Film Festival collection, The Audience Awards has compiled nine of their best shorts to exhibit them in the new Edinburgh Short Film Festival Showcase. For many of these films, it is the first time they are available to an online audience, making them accessible to those who may have missed the film festival and many, many more. The selected filmmakers compete from February 17 to March 3 for the chance to win an all access pass to this year’s Edinburgh Short Film Festival, running November 11-22, 2015.
