The 2026 Edinburgh Short Film Festival opens Friday 6th Nov until Saturday 21st Nov screening one of the UK's strongest short film programmes, with outstanding International shorts, 29 UK premieres & 27 award-winners. We're very much looking forward to welcoming cinema audiences back to live screenings, with a programme of outstanding short cinema, award winning short films including films from Cannes, Locarno, the Berlinale and award winning shorts from across the globe. On top of all that, we're holding panel discussions, lively networking events, Q & A Sessions, Japanese short films from Tokyo, and a host of visiting European Film Festival directors on Nov 15th to screen their award-winning shorts.
