SUMMARY:Scottish Shorts 2
DESCRIPTION:Listen to this Event Page\n  \nScottish Shorts 2 moves across Edinburgh summers\, dinner tables\, supermarket bins\, political stages and the search for beauty in a new home.  \nThese films look at what it means to be shut out\, misunderstood or left behind\, but also at the strange and inventive ways people make space for themselves. Relationships begin to slip\, conversations become inaccessible\, outrage turns into spectacle and discarded food becomes the centre of a new ritual.  \nMoving between fiction\, documentary and experiment\, the programme finds tenderness\, humour and resistance in unexpected places\, asking what remains when the world fails to make room for you.  \nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A with local filmmakers. All films in this screening and ‘Scottish Shorts 1’ are in with a chance to win the title of Best Scottish Short. The winner will be announced at the closing screening of SQIFF 2026.  \nCurated by Nat Lall & Huss. \n  \nClick here to book your ticket for this event. \nTickets are on a pay what you can sliding scale of FREE\, £4\, £8\, £12\, £16\, or £20\, in order to make SQIFF more accessible to those on a low income.
