About Us
"providing a quality, resourcing hub that flexibly meets your creative needs"
For twenty nine years GMAC has been at the heart of the film industry in Scotland. The organisation, a registered charity and social enterprise, has supported and developed independent film makers and the community through providing affordable, high quality equipment, training and production opportunities. Over the past decade GMAC has been a leader in the development and nurturing of new film making talent from across Scotland for the screen industries. Working in partnership with Scottish Screen, BBC Scotland and the UK Film Council, the company has an impressive track record of producing award winning short films, including multiple BAFTA's, International Best Film Awards and the GOLDEN BEAR BERLINALE Award in 2005. GMAC's community programme, the 2nd Unit, actively develops and supports individuals, groups and organizations who are under represented within the screen industry through training and support to make their own films. GMAC's regular networking events like Cafe Flicker enable filmmakers to screen and discuss their work while the new purpose built home in Trongate 103, the £8m centre for creativity that opened in 2009, provides a unique central space and resource for all people interested in film and media.
GMAC is a significant partner in the development and nurturing of new film making talent from across Scotland and has a strong track record in supporting access to the film industry through its multi award winning short film production initiatives. It also provides training, low cost hire of production facilities and equipment and networking events such a 'Café Flicker' which enables filmmakers to screen their work and discuss it with other film makers. An important strand of GMAC's work is carried out by the '2nd Unit', which enables individuals, groups and organisations who are under represented to gain access to moving image media through training, workshops and support to make their own films.
