Are you an MLitt student at St Andrews with an idea for a short film about minority lives? Applications are now open for the CMR Short Film Scholarship 2026–27.
CMR is offering one £500 scholarship to make a film of about five minutes exploring minority vulnerabilities, with guidance from CMR and Lucy Fife Donaldson, Professor of Film Studies. The finished film will be shared on CMR’s channels and in the CMR Seminar Series.
The scholarship is open to students on any MLitt programme, and no filmmaking experience is needed. Films must not involve human participants. Animation, objects, places, sound, archival material and your own voice-over are all welcome.
Deadline: Friday 8 January 2027, 12:00 noon (UK time). Interviews will take place in the week of 18 January.
