About the festival

MicroActs 7
December 2020

We are now accepting submissions for MicroActs 7 - an evening of artist short film!

We celebrate artist filmmakers from around the globe & across genres, and, in tough times such as this, we want to continue to champion an international spirit and empathetic creativity. We are aiming to create a live* socially distanced screening at our Central London hub Hotel Elephant, Elephant & Castle, in early December!

...short stories...small rebellions...mini manifestos...personal fables...snippets of memory...

MicroActs is a program of short films, 6 minutes or less, exploring concentrated storytelling through moving image. From bold political expression to delicate personal memories to abstract experimental collages; MicroActs aims to create a thought-provoking, informative and diverse evening of film. Works can be narrative or non-linear, experimental or scripted, abstract emotions, comedy sketches, music videos, and more, MicroActs is looking for works that share politics, intersectional experiences and tell stories.

The aim of these events is to champion subjective & personal political moving image works, promote artist film in London, and create a community of artists & filmmakers sharing their works and supporting each other.

All filmmakers who show with us are featured in the MicroActs' Filmmaker Archive on our website, an online showcase with direct links to each artist's website/digital presence, this resource allows exposure to a whole new audience & celebrates the range of works we've screened over the years.

*Government Guidelines permitting. If there are any major disruptions (such as another lockdown etc.) we will change this event to either an online livestream or reschedule the event.
