Edinburgh Short Film Festival 2025

In its 15th edition, Edinburgh Short Film Festival once again brings some of the world’s best short films to Edinburgh, and welcomes audiences back to see one of the UK’s strongest and most varied short film programmes.
 
There are award-winning shorts from Tokyo and Locarno, as well as nominees from Cannes, Venice and the Berlinale, alongside this year’s best Scottish films and films from across the UK.

Guest programmes from international film festivals and programmers; including Vilnius, Amsterdam, Belgium and Italy, with networking events, Q&As and panel discussions.
 
Take the masterclass with Jan Harlan - Stanley Kubrick’s producer - on Kubrick’s film insights and filmmaking for young and up-and-coming filmmakers.

From Colombian neo-noir to Taiwanese animation, travel the world in 80 films! 
 
The Edinburgh Short Film Festival runs from Friday November 7th to Sunday November 16th, 2025 only at Filmhouse.
