NEWS: Due to the ongoing international crisis we have postponed this year's festival. We are currently looking at the end of September 24th to 28th as alternative dates. We wish all our friends, partners and other that they keep safe and well and follow local advice to stay home.
When we're back we will once more showcase and celebrate the best of creative documentary film, while providing industry guests with the opportunity to meet and network with decision makers from all the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
We're a boutique festival with a big heart, and our fifth anniversary edition will bring many surprises - from special film screenings, networking events, master classes and training programmes, to the best parties in town.
This year we have a new category, BEST MUSIC DOC, and prize money for best feature and best short film.
To mark the 80th Anniversary of the start of World War II we are particularly interested in looking for films which deal with the issue of 'PEACE'.
Look out too for news of our jury, workshops and guest speakers. EARLY BIRD entries until November 25th!
Submit your film now for a chance to join us in Cardiff!
