Students of FEC are working with Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) director Chris Fujiwara and Screen Academy Scotland to curate three programmes of short films made by students at film academies in Edinburgh and London for this year’s festival. Viewing began yesterday and will continue for the next month so discussions are full steam ahead. The project represents an experiment in developing alternative models of exhibiting student film at EIFF and in creating new opportunities for students and for audiences. Screenings will be built around programming which explores new film-making through the creation of engaging audience experiences and the curated programmes will celebrate the distinctiveness of each film and enable audiences both to enjoy and to be stretched by different approaches to film-making.
