Der Nachtmahr Der Nachtmahr

After many years as part of the Glasgow Film Festival, the Glasgow Youth Film Festival is now entered its second year of independence in 2016, with a great line-up that included old favourites and some of the most exciting new youth cinema from around the world. It was entirely put together by teenagers and included a documentary workshop, a filmmaking workshop and a series of TED Talks among other special events.

The festival ran from 12 to 15 February.
