The UK Film Festival aims to champion great films but in particular is seeking work from those filmmakers who might not yet have had the chance to have a prestigious public exhibition of their work.
We celebrate the cultural diversity of films made in the UK and welcome films from all over the World.
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.
James Cameron
In England, I'm a horror movie director. In Germany, I'm a filmmaker. In the US, I'm a bum.
John Carpenter
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.
