Love is an eternal mystery. We struggle to understand it all our lives. Can you divine mathematically your true love? Can you fall in love with a ghost? Can one love truly replace another? And how do we find the kind of love that makes us feel seen and keeps us safe? This programme traces the questions that linger in all of us, slowly revealing the strange and shifting shape that love takes.
Several short films will be screened as part of this programme, followed by a Q&A.
The Edinburgh International University Film Festival (EIUFF), launching in 2025, is driven by a mission to champion and support the creative talents of university students across the UK. By collaborating with SYFF, they aim to nurture aspiring filmmakers through community engagement and financial backing. Their vision is to position EIUFF as the premier platform for student filmmakers to showcase their work, gain industry exposure and build meaningful connections. They strive to bridge the gap between education and the professional film world, empowering the next generation of storytellers to thrive.
