The Edinburgh Short Film Festival will take place between 28th October and 6th November 2016 and call for entries are now open.
The best submissions for 2016 will be included in short film programming for other festivals across the UK and Internationally during 2016 as well as being
screened at the Edinburgh Short Film Festival in October-November 2016.
The festival will also be working closely with our partner festivals and are planning on programming some of our best films from 2015 for the Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival in September 2016 and the Sardinia Film Festival in June 2016 as well as programming short film for Edinburgh’s remarkable arts festival Hidden Door in May.
In addition, ESSF can confirm they’ll be curating for Japan’s biggest short film festival, Short Shorts in Tokyo and will be playing host to a hand-picked selection of Japanese short film for our 2016 edition later this year.
There is also now the Rising Star Award for the most promising 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.
And if that’s not enough, the festival is also planning lively networking events, Q & A sessions, meet the film-makers, panel discussions and even some live music!
Submissions are now open for films under 20 mins (any genre) so get your skates on!
