DIY Micro Feature and Short Film Festival
In June 2016, just as Edinburgh International Film Festival had their final day we thought it would be fitting to show Scotland's filmmaking community and public there was an alternative industry - The DIY Filmmaking Industry. We decided to put on a special event which would celebrate independent filmmaking, a day of DIY features, shorts, Q+A's, talks, panels, networking and music. The event would be centred around two Tartan Features - Where Do We Go From Here? and Big Gold
Scottish Filmmaking Hall of Fame
From The Archives...April 2016 As we are all aware, Scotland's film-making contributions and film industry are usually discussed in the press in fairly lacklustre terms.
