Cinetopia Film Networking Night with ESFF - November 2026

Join us for our November film networking night in collaboration with Edinburgh Short Film Festival 2026 on their opening night at the Filmhouse Bar, Edinburgh 🙌

Meet and connect with fellow film industry folks over informal drinks and chats, whether you're a seasoned pro, or just starting out in the film industry and keen to learn more. 

The opening night screenings for Edinburgh Short Film Festival will start at 8:35 pm so join us before hand for a drink and a mingle. For those who don't have tickets for the Film Festival, you're welcome to stay on at networking!

Coming on your own? Don't worry! One of our team will be here to welcome you and make sure you meet people. We promise a chill, friendly, fun atmosphere. Whilst we hope for sunny weather, the venue is outdoors so please do bring a jacket. If it rains, we will look to move the event indoors.

This event is free to attend, please RSVP - it helps us track numbers!
