Glasgow Short Film Festival Bill Douglas Award 1: Sanctuary

The most vital new international cinema is showcased in the six programmes of the Bill Douglas Award for International Short Film, celebrating honesty, formal innovation and the supremacy of image and sound in cinematic storytelling.

A barber shop, a beach and a bus stop: all serve as places of refuge. All communities need somewhere they can present their true selves in plain view.
