Comment: In addition, some sources look quite poor. [1] and [2] duplicates the paragraph about the festival, indicating churnalism. Recommend removal and finding better sources. If it is really is the biggest film festival in Scotland, it should be easy to find more reliable sources. Ca talk to me! 03:37, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
The 48 Hour Film Project Scotland is the biggest and most prolific filmmaking event in the history of Scotland, having produced over 1,000 short films since 2008.[1][2][3][4]
Over 100 new short films are produced in Scotland each year as part of the project, and all films are screened in cinemas including The Cameo Cinema Edinburgh[5] and Glasgow Film Theatre.[6]
Sam Goldblatt and Louise E. Knowles brought the 48 Hour Film Project to Scotland in 2008, starting with an annual competition in Edinburgh. In 2011 they added Glasgow[7], and in 2024 they added both Aberdeen and Inverness, the Highlands and Islands[8], making a total of 4 competitions in Scotland each year.
Some of Scotland's leading film and TV executives have served on the juding panel, including Carolynne Sinclair Kidd[9], Brian Coffey, Gavin Smith, Gaynor Holmes, Michael Hines and Steven Canny.[10][11]
Celebrities who have participated include Richard Rankin, star of Rebus and Outlander, who participated in 2011 and won Best Actor.[12]
Participants have gone on to great success, including being selected for Channel 4's New Writer's Scheme.[13] Sarah Grant's film "Scare" won the 2019 Edinburgh competition and went on to feature film development with Screen Scotland.[14] Sarah has gone on to make award winning films screened at film fesivals around the world.[15]
In 2021 48 Hour Film Project Scotland launched a Global Scot Award for International Collaboration.[16] They regularly have teams participating from around the world, and teams from Sweden, USA, Italy and Peru have taken part since 2021.
Sam and Louise produce also Short Showcase events, local screening nights which feature 48 hour films, in Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh.[17][18][19][20]
