The Scottish Short Film Festival

The festival was set up in 2012 by Scottish filmmaker Chris Young. The first festival took place in Glasgow at the Grosvenor Cinema and at later dates was held at Howden Park Centre in Livingston and Bathgate Regal Community Theatre. The festival returned in 2018 with Scottish actor Regina Vereker coming onboard alongside to help run the film festival, and under the new name of The Scottish Short Film Festival. The Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow was due to host the 2018 festival but due to the fire at the Glasgow School of Art, the venue was forced to close. It was announced on the festival's Twitter account that the Crowne Plaza Glasgow would take over as host. In 2021, during the COVID pandemic, the film festival was moved online and returned to an in-person event at The Art School, Glasgow for 2022 (10th edition). After a three year break, The Scottish Short Film Festival has relaunched with a new team of volunteers, and the 11th edition of the Scottish Short Film Festival will be held at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow in July 2026. ==Festival award winners==
