SIFF is a brand new, international short film festival based in Scotland. SIFF will screen outstanding short film, animation, docs, experimental film and video art. SIFF will bring national and international makers and stories to diverse and ever-changing locations around Scotland, making SIFF Scotland’s only nomadic international film festival.
For our inaugural year, we have partnered with Scotland's major, internationally acclaimed creative hub, the CCA: Centre for Contemporary Arts, in Scotland's largest city, Glasgow. The festival will run from 20th - 22nd April 2023. SIFF's programme of events will include three-days of live screenings, Q&As with industry leaders, filmmakers, and artists; panel discussions and social events. There will also be the option to view a live-stream of some events.
We have created SIFF to showcase exceptional, international short film, whilst also addressing the imbalance of under-represented groups of makers and stories within film festivals. The stories of and by women, girls and non-binary people are underrecognised in many film festivals, so we want to encourage submissions from anyone identifying as a woman, non-binary and/or anyone telling their stories
An international jury of artists and filmmakers will select the 7 winning categories including: SIFF Best International Short Film 2023, which will receive £500.
--------------------------
SIFF supports a culture of equality, diversity and non-discrimination, and is run as a non-profit organisation.
