Glasgow Filmstock 2025 • Now Open

Submit Your Film to GLASGOW FILMSTOCK 2025

GLASGOW FILMSTOCK proudly accepts entries via FilmFreeway, the world's leading platform for film festival submissions. We welcome filmmakers from around the globe to share bold, short-form stories with us.

The official submission window for our 2nd Edition (October 2025) is now open. Selected films will be part of a one-day showcase in Glasgow, with additional opportunities for curated screenings, filmmaker discussions, and community engagement.

All selected films automatically enter the competition. Award-winning films will receive digital laurels, certificates, and be featured prominently across our promotional channels. The ceremony and screenings will be held in October 2025.

We screen only the best: each film is reviewed by a curatorial board and evaluated not just on technical merit, but on voice, innovation, and emotional resonance.
