About the event
The Sandbox Showcase – Edition Four
Bold shorts. New voices. A city full of stories.
The Sandbox Showcase is back this August and if you know, you know.
Never just a night for the screening. It’s a night built around the community who make the North West’s creative scene what it is: raw, vibrant, and ready to push boundaries. Hosted inside the Picturehouse @ FACT Liverpool, the Sandbox is where filmmakers, friends, and first-timers gather to watch original short films that rarely get their due elsewhere.
This fourth edition continues our mission of spotlighting bold work from first-time and emerging filmmakers. Expect stories that surprise, filmmaking that doesn’t follow the rulebook, and a crowd that actually gives a damn.
From gritty dramas to playful experiments, quiet reflections to punchy DIY filmmaking, the lineup is curated to challenge and entertain. Plus, you’ll catch the latest winner of our Trial & Error filmmaking…
