SQIFF 2024 Opening Night Scottish Shorts

We warmly welcome you back to another year of SQIFF with ‘Scottish Shorts’. This screening exclusively contains short films by artists based in Scotland and highlights outstanding local talent. We are also delighted to showcase three new films made by SQIFF’s very own Queer Filmmakers Group. Expect a screening that celebrates community, resistance and various filmmaking media. We hope to welcome several of the filmmakers for a Q&A after the screening. All filmmakers in this screening and ‘Scottish Shorts 2’ are automatically entered into a competition to win the title of Best Scottish Short. The winner will be announced at the closing screening of SQIFF 2024. Curated by Nat Lall and Huss. Tickets are on a sliding scale of FREE, £2, £4, £6, £8, £10. Choose what to pay based on your circumstances. If you can afford more, it helps SQIFF out if you pay more. This allows SQIFF to have free or cheap tickets for those who most need them and keep the festival going as well as support queer filmmakers.
