A New Platform for International Animated Shorts

“The 14th Edinburgh Short Film Festival is raising the bar high, and the rest aren’t just chasing haggis! The all-inclusive fest is open for films of all genres, promising a cinematic smorgasbord to feast on. And with the stellar lineup of short films to be showcased, ESFF seem to be proving that size indeed doesn’t matter – well at least in terms of film length.”

Animations – Not Just for Saturday Mornings

“And well, would you just look at that! Amid the grapple for the silver screen, ESFF is introducing the Best Animation Award. We guess it’s time for animators to put aside their childish fight with Saturday morning cartoons and step into the big league. Extra brownie points for animation entries!”

Okay folks, here’s the hot take — the 14th Edinburgh Short Film Festival is ramping things up in the film world, and it’s looking like the red carpet is about to get a whole lot more animated. Move over, Saturday mornings! The cartoons are coming out to play – and it’s not even daylight! Could Edinburgh be the international movie mogul that gives Saturday morning a run for its money? Pass the popcorn, folks. This is gonna be good!
