Watch local short films or screen your own- whether it’s a short film, music video or scene of a feature, Café Flicker is the place to go. Showcase your work as a filmmaker, actor, or composer and connect with other creatives. For film enthusiasts, it’s a great night packed with short surprises.

Café Flicker is with over 30 years the longest-running short film open mic night in Scotland. Each Cafe Flicker crowns a winner of the night, which will enter the Big Flick. The Big Flick is the annual December showdown, which crowns the film of the year.
