Animation Festivals Directory

Scotland Loves Anime is a film festival founded in 2010 with one goal: to challenge the stereotype of anime as a hobby for teens by showcasing a range of films and educating audiences on the context behind them.

We do this in 3 ways:

1. Curate a programme of recent releases, seminal classics, art films, and shorts
2. Start each screening with an expert introduction to give context and education
3. Host events with Japanese industry guests otherwise unlikely to come to the UK

Our guiding principle has always been that we want you to leave the cinema knowing more than when you went in.

Scotland Loves Anime takes place over 2 set of dates for each city:

• Glasgow (Glasgow Film Theatre)
• Edinburgh (Cameo Picturehouse Cinema)

Year established: 2010
