Young, Emerging & Student Showcase Screenings

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 at 19:00 

We share some of the best of the next generation of filmmaking talent with a night of Young, Emerging and Student Screenings!

Championing new talent is a key aim of our festival so we are once again delighted to welcome Young, Emerging & Student filmmakers to showcase their work up on the big screen, including local entries from Northumbria, Newcastle and Sunderland Universities across 2 Blocks of short film screenings.

This event is hosted by local BBC Radio favourite Emma Millen!

Since 2015 Sunderland Shorts has been dedicated to providing unmissable film experiences for film fans and filmmakers alike, and this year we’re excited to be screening at various venues across the City. For this 8th edition of the Festival we’re sharing our biggest selection of works yet with over 160 short films and music videos from across the country and around the World, as well as showcasing films made right here in the North East.
