About the festival

We are a student run organisation that is aimed at showcasing student films made by students based across the North of England. The festival is a platform for young and aspiring creatives to promote their films to the public and for them to gain insight and connections within the industry.
The festival will take place over two days in early June. The first day will consist of short films of factual content, such as biopics and documentaries. The second day will focus on fictional content, from drama to comedy. We will have the pleasure of hosting a number of influential professionals from within the documentary and film-making industry to give a speech and top tips on how to make it in the world of media.

In order to avoid a competitive atmosphere among the student filmmakers, and instead to cultivate networking and a community in the North, we don't hand out any prizes - but all the films will receive critical feedback from industry professionals on the day.
