We’re delighted to reveal that we have finalised the details on a new festival partnership
with the USA’s largest dedicated short film festival on the US East coast, DC Shorts based in
Washington!
The partnership begins during our 2018 editions and will see the ESFF prepare a programme of s
ome of our best short films for screening at DC Shorts in September 2018!
We’re also reciprocating and DC Shorts will programme for our festival in Autumn of 2018.
BUT THE BEST NEWS IS:
We’ve also agreed to offer our entrants a 20% discount on submissions to the other festival
and this offer will open fairly soon, so watch this space and we’ll let you know when the
discount period opens. This means that anyone submitting to this year’s ESFF will also get a
20% discount on submitting to DC Shorts!
I have both good and bad things to say about DC shorts; I know nothing about Edinburgh. The good side; I like their numeric scoring, the bad side is the lack of uniformity in the judging process. An example - one reader scored one of my scripts a perfect 100, a second reader found a typo (a comma instead of a period) and scored it 60. So I'll wait and see.
