Celebrating film making talent from around the world 
The UK Film Festival aims to champion great films but in particular is seeking work from those film makers who might not yet have had the chance for a prestigious public viewing of their work.
We celebrate the cultural diversity of films made in the UK and welcome films from all over the World.
The Festival begins on November 15th 2012.

Pick up a camera. Shoot something. No matter how small, no matter how cheesy, no matter whether your friends and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as director. Now you're a director. Everything after that you're just negotiating your budget and fee.

In England, I'm a horror movie director. In Germany, I'm a filmmaker. In the US, I'm a bum.

Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young film makers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.
