An introduction of film festivals in the UK.
People often hear about film festivals like The First Three Film Festivals in Europe. It seems that these events are far away from our lives and geographical location. However, the UK often holds film festivals, many of which are open to the public.
BFI London Film Festival is one of the most influential events in the UK. It is also known as the “Film Festival in the film festival” because it selects 300 films from nearly 50 countries in the world every year, and basically all of them have already won international awards.
Fans who like experimental films like the East End Film Festival most. It is a relatively niche event, but still professional and authoritative. Last year’s judges also included the author of the famous British film Trainspotting and the screenwriter of the Oscar-winning work Bird Man.
Most people in the film industry start with short films, so the London Short Film Festival is very meaningful. It only accepts films that no more than 45 minutes, in previous years, many of the shortest award-winning films only have 5 minutes.
Furthermore, there are also some well-known film festivals in other countries, such as Birmingham Film Festival in November, Glasgow Film Festival in late February and Edinburgh International Film Festival which is the oldest film festival in the UK. In addition to going to the cinema, you can enjoy many great films in advance at the film festival. It must be an unforgettable experience to get close contact with the industry’s top stars.
