Cornwall Film Festival is Back to Celebrate its 20th Anniversary!
With an exciting in-person festival, Cornwall Film Festival is back for its 20th year!
Happening between Monday, 15th November to Sunday, 21st November 2021, the festival offers an entertaining, distinct programme of films – from international award winners to local shorts – Q&As, masterclasses, and industry events.
Taking centre stage is the climate, with the important CORNWALL CLIMATE STORIES, a series of spectacular films presented by real people talking about their own experiences, highlighting the local side of a global crisis. Paired perfectly with Director Liz Garbus’ latest feature, which dives into the life of environmentalist and undersea explorer Jacques BECOMING COUSTEAU.
Audiences will have the opportunity to see three short programmes, including the prestigious Cornwall’s International Shorts Programme, Student, and South-West best regional shorts.
There is plenty on offer for filmmakers too, as Cornwall Film Festival partners with BFI NETWORK South West for a discussion with Cornish filmmakers on their journey from funding to filming. Additionally, there is the chance to watch a screening of past funded projects, and ask any questions you might have to Talent Executive Alix Taylor – followed by a networking lunch featuring pints and pasties.
Do not miss the industry sessions to find out what is on offer for new and emerging filmmakers in the region.
