IN YOUR FACE

Howdy peoples. Welcome again to the joint newsletter from Short Com and its twisted sister, SI-FAN. This is going to be an 'espresso' newsletter for you, mostly regarding some of our upcoming screenings.

 

SI-FAN at GMAC 26th Feb

Glasgow. It's been a while. We're looking forward to returning to Glasgow Media Access Centre this Thursday evening with a selection of shorts from our previous programmes.

What are we screening? That's part of the mystery. There will be a healthy mix of live action, animation, Scottish and international titles across all the funky cool genres to melt your minds. There will be some post-networking after the screenings.

Tickets are FREE with voluntary donations to GMAC.

You can reserve a space via Eventbrite here

SHORT COM GLASGOW INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL.

NOW 28TH MARCH!

As some of you might be aware, we were scheduled to be screening at the CCA in Glasgow on the 14th of March. But unfortunately, the CCA has sadly closed its doors. We're sad for the people who have lost their jobs, and those who lost a home, as well as seeing a venue we fairly cherish, as it was the first Glasgow venue we ever screened in over a decade ago. Fingers crossed that the venue can rise from the ashes in the near future.

So we are thankful to GMAC again for letting us take over and bring the Short Com fun on the 28th of March between 14:00 and 20:00, which will be separated by three individual back-to-back programmes.

 

14:00 - 15:30 - Funimation - 90 minutes of the funniest new animated shorts.
 

16:00 - 17:30 - Queer as Joke - Celebrating exciting, funny film talent and stories by the LGBTQ+ community. 
 

18:00 - 20:00 - Mixed Nuts - As it says on the tin. An eclectic programme of the funniest shorts from the latest Short Com selection.

 

Day passes for £20 are available via the GICF website here. We will be operating a pay-what-you-can at the venue, with profits going to GMAC. There will be individual ticket links for each programme in the coming days. As well as further details on the programme of films for each programme.

Thanks to those who have submitted to SI-FAN Film Festival 2026. Submissions are now closed. We are now hard at it deciding on the programme selection, and will be looking to announce the selected films in the next week or so as well as other SI-FAN festivities. We've already got some cracking weird features lined up.

 

A reminder that alongside our screenings and events. We will be running an Industry Day of talks on how to make your low-budget independent genre or comedy feature film from script to screen on Saturday the 2nd of May in Edinburgh. We will have guest speakers giving their advice on how to budget, raise finance, pre-plan your shoot, attract a distributor and how to market and sell your film. The event is open to interested participants outside of Scotland. We will be curating delegates so that there is a healthy mix of directors, writers and producers in the room for those looking for collaborative partners; teams are also welcome.

 

To signal your interest, if you can please fill in the form on our site here.

 

A very brief update. As so many people have asked. We will open the competition on the 6th of April.

UPCOMING FESTIVAL RECOMMENDATIONS
