It is with immense excitement and anticipation, that I am able to share details of the Central Scotland Documentary Festival 2024. As the Head Curator, I am thrilled to announce that submissions for this year's festival will officially open on Monday 5 February. We are inviting storytellers and documentarians to share their compelling narratives and unique perspectives with our global audience. 

The Central Scotland Documentary Festival has become a beacon for documentary enthusiasts, showcasing the power of non-fiction storytelling to illuminate, educate, and inspire change. This year, we aim to continue this tradition by curating an exceptional line-up that reflects the diversity and complexity of our world. 

We encourage both seasoned filmmakers and emerging talents to submit their documentaries for consideration. Whether your work explores social issues, personal narratives, or investigative journalism, we are eager to witness the multitude ways in which documentary filmmaking can engage and provoke thoughtful conversations. 

Save the dates as the festival is scheduled to run from Thursday 31 October to Monday 4 November. The Central Scotland Documentary Festival is not just an event; it's a celebration of the incredible diversity and depth that documentary filmmaking brings to our collective understanding of the world. 

To all filmmakers, your stories matter, and we look forward to discovering the narratives that will shape this year's festival. Submissions open on Monday 5 February, marking the beginning of a journey that will culminate in an enriching and thought-provoking cinematic experience. 

Join us in making the Central Scotland Documentary Festival 2024 a celebration of the transformative power of documentary storytelling. Together, let's illuminate the human experience and inspire positive change through the lens of documentary film.
