Glasgow Short Film Festival was the first of the 2020 line-up to have its plans rudely interrupted by COVID. But, having put on a mini summer festival in August, they are now primed to reclaim the month of March, with a stellar programme of the very best of Scottish and international short filmmaking from 22-28 March.
In a year in which it has been widely reported that women’s rights and equality, whether in the workplace or the home, have suffered a huge knockback due to the fallout of the global pandemic with which we are all now so tediously familiar, it seems pertinent that Edinburgh Printmakers, among many other organisations, have decided to mark International Women’s Day on Monday with a significant exhibition of work. Taking place in its online “viewing room”, it showcases the work of five female artists with diverse creative practices under this year’s theme, Choose to Challenge, with prints available to purchase from a starting price of £120.
