Glasgow Short Film Festival (GSFF) is Scotland’s main short film festival, held every spring. It has a reputation for bold, curious programming that takes in experimental work, artists’ film and music alongside narrative shorts.
Awards
GSFF runs international and Scottish competitions. Its awards can qualify films for BAFTA and the British Independent Film Awards. Check the official site for the current rules.
Who it suits
Filmmakers whose work takes risks with form, and anyone making films in Scotland. If your film sits between cinema and gallery, the kind of film Greenhorn discussed at its 2013 panel, Glasgow is worth considering.
Dates, rules and award-qualifying status change every year. Check the official site before you submit.
