SMF / Sierra Metro Film

Sierra Metro presents SMF, a film screening programme that will unfold over a period of eight months. Screenings will feature new work by artists who have previously exhibited work with Sierra Metro, and will take place both on-site and off-site, at venues and locations across Edinburgh.
SMF does not aim to bring these works together in a format that encourages comparison, contrast or assimilation, but instead focuses on the single work format, granting each film considerable space and time for reflection.

Please check back regularly to for updates of upcoming SMF screenings.
