Filmmakers for Change

Film Festival

19th - 2oth Oct 2024

The film festival for filmmakers who want to make a difference by telling the stories of seldom heard communities and / or social issues such as poverty, migration, xenophobia, inequality, environment, mental health and /or war.

The film festival is held in exclusive venues around the UK & Europe for visitors from the public sector, government officials and third sector professionals who are looking to expand their outlook on social impact.

The festival is based in Bradford (The UK City of Film) in an old converted library at the heart of the community.

The films are presented alongside panel discussions and networking opportunities for the filmmakers to connect directly with people who are active in the charity/social sector.

We are looking for films which educate the audience on social issues. No topic is too small and all communities are welcome.

The heart of the festival is to help the world become a fairer and safer place through the art of filmmaking.

Deadline for all submissions is August 31st 2024.
