ESFF
Edinburgh Short Film Festival
Dedicated and passionate about short film, the Edinburgh Short Film Festival has brought some of the best contemporary Scottish, UK and international short film to the Scottish capital since its inception in 2011.
The ESFF is BIFA qualifying and has longstanding links with overseas partner festivals, including the Adriatic Film Festival, Shortcutz Amsterdam, Short Shorts & Asia, Regensburg and Brussels Short Film Agency, as well as holding screenings at arts and film events across Scotland.
Join us for some of the year’s best short films along with Q and A’s, networking events and awards ceremonies every November.
