Glasgow Short Film Festival Anatomy of a Short Film Programme

How do short film programmes shape the films they contain? Kickstarting the discussion on short film curation as criticism in Saturday’s symposium, students of Film, Exhibition and Curation at the University of Edinburgh present a programme of short films, alongside their analysis of every curatorial decision, considering their reasons for both selection and rejection. This dissection of curatorial creative processes aims to lay bare implications of criticism, contextualization and taste-making in short film curation.
