Programme 2
3 June
Screening award-winning and Oscar-qualifying shorts: The charming doc,
‘The Frying Game’, starring the home of the iconic deep-fried Mars bar and
the wince-inducing but very funny comedy-thriller, ‘Jewels’. There’s Oscar
qualifying short thriller ‘The Child and The Dead’, and two staff favourites
from last year, the intense but funny, S & M dungeon-set, ‘The Session’ and
the engaging, beautifully-performed comedy ‘Vegas’. C’mon and pop your
corn!

DISPATCH Feminist Moving Image presents a
short-format, experimental film programme
that will question what it means to move - and
to be moved - in the contemporary world.
Through the impactful lens of women-centric
moving images, this programme will also
explore the revolutionary act of stillness and
contemplation as an indispensable form of
movement that allows us to wonder - and
wander - in a world that encourages us to move
ever faster, without thought.
Staff Picks Night
30 May
As a bonus extra, the Edinburgh Short Film Festival’s enthusiastic staff have
put together a programme of some of their favourite shorts of recent years,
ranging from dark, edgy comedy and body horror to quirky, indie drama
with a sprinkling of affecting relationship stories and some outstanding
experimental cinema.
Life is short so it’s just as well our films are too!
