ScreenHI, the agency for developing the screen and broadcast industries in the Highlands and Islands, has today announced new film and broadcast strands at goNORTH 2012.
goNORTH 2012, one of Scotland’s largest creative industries festivals, will run from the 6 – 7 June 2012 across the city of Inverness. Described as a showcase for Scotland, goNORTH brings the creative industries to the Highlands and Islands.
ScreenHI has also announced that the opening date for submission of films for the festival will be Friday 27 January 2012. The submission strand is open to any filmmaker for any genre up to 30 minutes.
