WELCOME – TO FILMMAKERS & FILMLOVERS ALIKE
Really?
Another film festival?
Well, actually, yes. We think UK independent films and those who make them deserve to be celebrated. And besides, as 2018’s festival will be the third, we like to think we are now part of the regular festival circuit….
Curation
Of course, the really tricky question is: “What is an UK independent film?” Our criteria are applied with a degree of flexibility as we are driven as much by creating a diverse programme for our audience as by the qualities of individual films.

Short Film Forum
Yes, short films often serve as the nursery slopes of filmmaking, but we also recognise them as a distinctive cinematic discipline and will be showcasing some of the most interesting and diverse we can find.

Indie Film Forum
This session is specifically designed to bring filmmakers together and will be convened by an established independent filmmaker who will discuss how they met the challenges of taking their film from dream to screen.
