Oscar-nominee Nina Gantz 🍾 has a great ring to it, doesn’t it? WANDER TO WONDER won our audience award for international short film at last year’s festival - Many congrats to the whole production team

Saw these yesterday at the GFT. “A Real Pain” was excellent - powerful, witty, painful. “Ball” short film was laugh-out-loud funny. @glasgowfilmtheatre.bsky.social

Born into poverty in a Midlothian mining community in 1934, Bill Douglas, the namesake of our annual award for international short film, became one of Scotland’s most celebrated film directors. His films are celebrated for their honest and innovative approach to storytelling.

A true visionary. Love or hate his films, Lynch navigated Hollywood with uncompromising conviction, humour and style
