Edinburgh Schools Film Competition at Edinburgh International Film Festival
Check out the future filmmaking stars in these two dazzling programmes of the best short films made by Edinburgh school pupils.
All pupils in Edinburgh were invited to enter our Schools Film Competition and here are the very best from the hundreds of entries,
chosen by the Youth Jury. The films, from primary, secondary, nursery and special schools across the city all demonstrate enormous passion for cinema and imagination in abundance. A partnership between EIFF, Pilton Video and City of Edinburgh Council, this project was sponsored by Bright Grey and funded by Awards for All.
