Guide to Film Festivals

Written By Alice Guilluy

Supporting students/young people with film festival submissions? Here’s our guide to UK film festivals, which includes:

  • a comprehensive (but not exhaustive list) of UK film festivals and youth-facing film festivals (in the UK and abroad)

  • notes from the film festival programmers and awards jurors panel at our Frame Forward event on 8 July 2025, with huge thanks to Mariko Francombe (Fisheye Film Festival), Liza Fletcher (Walthamstow International Film Festival) and Oli Loveday (Into Film) for sharing their expertise with us.

  • a press kit checklist
