Caught Short is a new venture from the Edinburgh Skillset Screen and Media Academy in conjunction with Filmhouse.
Curated by students on the MFA Advanced Film Practice course and invited guest(s) from the film industry, it aims to champion and showcase emerging talent from film-makers with a Scottish connection, regardless of background or training. It will run twice a year – in December and May.
If you're an emerging film-maker who's made a short film you're proud of, and that demonstrates a bold, original vision, then we want to see it. We're looking for films that will surprise, delight and challenge us; anything from drama, documentary and animation to experimental works.
It's a chance to see your work on the big screen, showcased in a programme of selected Scottish shorts in one of Scotland's leading independent cinemas, the Filmhouse.
Go on, astonish us!
