Shoot First
Welcome to Edinburgh's brand new short film event – Shoot First. Over the coming months we plan to show you a wealth of short films from up-and-coming talent around the world. And if that wasn't enough, we'll also be screening a variety of animation, music videos, documentaries and other visual treats to get the blood racing and the inspiration flowing. Shoot First launches on 9 January, and will then take place on the first Monday of each month. To submit work for consideration, contact us at shootfirst@filmhousecinema.com

Gas World Premiere!!!
