GLASGOW FILMSTOCK 2025

Second Edition

On October 2025, GLASGOW FILMSTOCK returns for its second edition, bringing together a handpicked selection of bold, personal, and uncompromising short films from around the world.

Screenings will take place across one electric day in Glasgow — where fiction collides with truth, and new voices make themselves heard.

This year, we're partnering with local institutions and communities to celebrate stories rooted in place — and to invite dialogue that extends beyond the screen.

New in 2025:

First Flame Award

Best debut short by a first-time filmmaker

Best Local Story

Focused on Scottish identity and place

Secret Screening

Revealed only at the event

Student Film Spotlight

In collaboration with film schools

Critics' Conversations

Real-time dialogue after every screening block
