Championing Independent Film. Celebrating New Voices. Inspiring Future Talent.
Norwich Film Festival is one of the UK’s leading BAFTA-qualifying and BIFA-recognised short film festivals, bringing together audiences, filmmakers and industry professionals from across the UK and around the world.
Every November, our festival transforms Norwich into a celebration of independent cinema, showcasing bold storytelling, emerging talent and award-winning filmmaking in one of the country’s most beautiful and historic cities.
But we’re much more than a ten-day festival.
Throughout the year, we champion filmmakers through special screenings, filmmaker Q&As, industry events, educational programmes and our Creative Futures initiative, helping to inspire the next generation of creative talent while growing a vibrant film culture in the East of England.
Whether you’re joining us as an audience member, submitting your first short film, volunteering, partnering with us or supporting our work, you’re helping to celebrate the power of storytelling and the people who create it.
