Exchange and MartMartin Smith’s Seagulls has enjoyed festival success in Europe so far. The film tells the story of a fourteen year old showman, and his attempts to fit in when he visits a new town.
Before Rory Alexander Stewart’s Wyld had its world premiere at EIFF last month, it had already won a BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award for its actress Julie Speers. Julie plays a young barmaid who has to choose between new responsibilities of her adult life and the intense, sometime violent friendship of her youth when an old friend pays her an unexpected visit at work.
Ainslie Henderson and Will Anderson’s animation about a monkey who believes he is going to the moon, has only recently started its festival run. It had its UK premiere at EIFF, will soon make its international debut at LA Short Fest, and has more festivals slated for later in the year.
Ian Waugh’s story about a Greek economic migrant trying to disappear within the Scottish Highlands, has also just started its festival run. It had its UK and world premiere at EIFF.
Stay tuned for further festival updates on the 2014 Scottish Shorts throughout the rest of the year!
