Scotland’s leading independent short film programmers The Magic Lantern returns for a third year with a core competition programme celebrating emerging international filmmakers whose innovative, experimental and rule-breaking work introduces them as the strong new voices of cinema. This year GSFF introduces a Best International Short Film Award, judged by a jury of international and local guests, with all 33 invited filmmakers competing for the cash prize.
We are delighted to present for the first time in the UK a retrospective of the unstoppable American low-budget collective COURT 13, and two extraordinary screenings of films, made in 1988 and 1972, revisited and remade in 2009 by artist Cynthia Beatt and GFF favourite Murray Grigor. We bring you guest-curated programmes by the likes of Radio Magnetic and New Media Scotland, and we have teamed up with LUX, Central Station, RSAMD and Skillset Screen Academy to stage workshops (see right) for both filmmakers and visual artists; parties from LuckyMe, Radio Magnetic, Huntleys & Palmers and Optimo; and even a mobile cinema in a caravan. GSFF 2010 promises to thrill and challenge its audience by wedding an international perspective to the best of Glasgow’s dynamic film, art and music scenes.
GSFF is directed by Rosie Crerar and Matt Lloyd of The Magic Lantern.
