Spring is coming! On March 4th, we will be showing a spine-tingling lineup of five award-winning short documentary films, all made by Scottish-based filmmakers. Each filmmaker will introduce their film on the night, followed by a short group Q&A at the end. Come and travel through time and space to Grangemouth Oil Refinery, the small 'burgh' of Langholm, Spain, Bangladesh, and the personal memories of the filmmakers. This is a rare chance to see these short gems together. Join us to celebrate the end of winter with a drink and a smile.

DOCMA is a documentary game designed to involve anyone who wants to try to make a documentary, originally started by DocKlub inspired by the Dogme 95 manifesto. The basic principle is: 5 filmmakers make 5 films (each 1 minute long) on one common theme. Each filmmaker is allocated a documentary style in which to make their 1 minute film, and the filmmakers are not allowed to confer. At the given deadline the 5 films are collated and laid back-to-back on a timeline to create one five-minute film on the chosen theme. Credits are added and the ‘DOCMA film’ is then premiered to the filmmakers and a public audience at the same time. This month we will be drawing the names of participating filmmakers for next month’s event, so come and put your name in the hat. SUBMIT A FILM!
