The EIFF launched its 2014 programme this week with a special strand curated by students of Film, Exhibition and Curation at the University of Edinburgh. Students created three short film programmes from the Creative Skillset Film Academies (Screen Academy Scotland, National Film & Television School, London Film School). These programmes showcase new talent in creative storytelling on a journey of self-discovery, finding their style and cinematic voice. After the final screening on June 27 students will give out the first ever FEC Awards.
