EIUFF: Tales of Becoming

(Sun 1 Jun: 4pm)

Delve into the tangled, transformative years of growing up, where friendships shift, identities are tested, and the future looms uncertain. Through a mix of humour, conflict, and magical realism, these films explore first loves, body awareness, and the complex path to adulthood. From the light-heartedness of high school games to the weight of self-discovery, each story captures the moments that define youth’s fleeting nature. This programme is a search for the beauty and messiness of becoming who we want to be.

Several short films will be screened as part of this programme, followed by a Q&A.

The Edinburgh International University Film Festival (EIUFF), launching in 2025, is driven by a mission to champion and support the creative talents of university students across the UK. By collaborating with SYFF, they aim to nurture aspiring filmmakers through community engagement and financial backing. Their vision is to position EIUFF as the premier platform for student filmmakers to showcase their work, gain industry exposure and build meaningful connections. They strive to bridge the gap between education and the professional film world, empowering the next generation of storytellers to thrive.
