Chemistry and electricity shape our perception of reality. Nothing else. What if we dance it all away? What if I was incarnated as a porpoise? What if I deepfaked my dead mother? What if I programme my wife to make the perfect martini? What if I’m an angel, fallen from grace? All these questions flit across our imaginations like tears lost in the rain.
Several short films will be screened as part of this programme, followed by a Q&A.
The Edinburgh International University Film Festival (EIUFF), launching in 2025, is driven by a mission to champion and support the creative talents of university students across the UK. By collaborating with SYFF, they aim to nurture aspiring filmmakers through community engagement and financial backing. Their vision is to position EIUFF as the premier platform for student filmmakers to showcase their work, gain industry exposure and build meaningful connections. They strive to bridge the gap between education and the professional film world, empowering the next generation of storytellers to thrive.
