Overview

The Scottish Short Film Festival (SSFF) is to promote and encourage filmmaking in and about Scotland, give credit where it's due and encourage young and upcoming talent in the field. We wholeheartedly welcome submissions from all racial and ethnic backgrounds, and from filmmakers of any gender, religion or orientation. Each entry must be 25 minutes or less and have some relation to Scotland - be it Scottish actors, Scottish story, Scottish director, Scottish music etc. ALL submissions will receive feedback from the judges about their film. We aim to support and encourage filmmaking and know how helpful feedback can be. Looking forward to receiving your submissions!

  A really good weekend of films. Quality was exceptional, with a good mix of genres and types of films too. Thank you to SSFF for our Best Actor Nomination and for our screening!
