Edinburgh Shorts Showcase

About Edinburgh Shorts Showcase

Listed Under Film Events

Together with the 48 Hour Film Project, we present a night of short films made by emerging filmmakers from Edinburgh and the Lothians at the Cameo.

Alongside screening the top films from the 48 Hours Film Project, we screen a selection of incredible short films from new filmmakers in Edinburgh. Selected films will be showcased in a public screening event, providing a platform for emerging filmmakers to be seen by a wider audience and an industry panel with the LS Films team and producer Wendy Griffin providing dramaturgical feedback giving a rare insight into the creative process. You will then have a chance to further engage in networking in the bar.

All films will be captioned, with a BSL interpreter present to sign the introduction and Q&A session with an industry panel.
