FilmG, Scotland’s annual Gaelic short film competition, will return for its 18th year, featuring new categories and an extended submission deadline.
Following the success of last year’s format, filmmakers will once again have complete creative freedom to explore any subject that inspires them.
A new under-12 competition tier has been introduced to shine a spotlight on the youngest emerging Gaelic talent, together with new categories in the under-18 and 18+ competitions.
Workshops are currently underway in secondary schools, giving young people the chance to learn about filmmaking, and discover which parts of the production process interest them most.
FilmG nominations will be announced in the spring, with the winners to be announced in early summer.
Employers and educators from across the Highlands have gathered to hear how a new initiative is aiming to transform the region’s economy.
‘Workforce North – A Call to Action’ brought together business leaders, teachers and a wide range of partners geared towards education, learning and skills development.
With the Highlands and Islands expected to see investment of up to one-hundred-billion pounds over the next 15 years, driven by the generation and transmission of renewable energy, the region must attract and retain new skills and grow the working age population so communities and businesses can benefit.
Workforce North proposes a new way of working to meet this challenge, with industry and public partners collaborating to expand the regional workforce through a system-wide place-based approach.
