The Magic Lantern celebrates short film. We view the form as a unique platform for innovative, experimental and rule-breaking filmmaking. We curate thematic programmes of short films that weave together archive treasures, artists' film & video and narrative film. We like how the juxtaposition of these films collectively is sometimes greater than the sum of its parts. By placing programmes in a range of contexts: from street cinemas, club visuals in specifically designed sets, music festivals, and comedy venues to film festivals, galleries, and, of course, cinemas we seek to challenge your perceptions of a form which is too often marginalised.
The Magic Lantern was born from a passion for film and creative programming and launched at CCA, Glasgow in 2006. Since then it's gone on to screen at venues across Scotland from Dumfries to the outer Hebrides, working with a range of like-minded partner organisations and presenting thematic programmes and retrospectives. In 2008 The Magic Lantern launched the Glasgow Short Film Festival, in conjunction with The Glasgow Film Festival. Each February we produce 3 days of international programmes alongside retrospectives, guest programmes, industry events and panel discussions all hosted by our partners, the CCA.
We are committed to celebrating inspiration and innovation in new cinema, and so for the first time in 2010 GSFF will hold a competition for Best International Short Film. Drawn from our international programme, selected by The Magic Lantern team and judged by a jury of film insiders, filmmakers will compete for a cash prize.
Alongside this core programme we will present a great range of screenings, events and parties in collaboration with our partners.
Full programme will be announced 20 January 2010.
