    Taking place on March 29th at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, the First Act Film Festival is entirely programmed and delivered by 16-25 year olds, and will open the 2016 Glasgow Youth Arts Festival. It’s our hope that this could one day be Scotland’s biggest celebration of aspiring filmmakers, and it’s our belief that events like this can inspire the great ideas of the future. The program will be followed by talks on the landscape of Scottish film - with Iain Smith, OBE, and producer of Mad Max: Fury Road answering the question on all of our minds: “How Can We Build Scotland’s First Film Studio?” Throughout the night, we want to begin work on a network that will reach filmmakers across Scotland and spark future collaboration. In coming to the First Act Film Festival, we hope to welcome you to the future of the Scottish film industry. The last few tickets are available here: http://goo.gl/ruqjKZ.
