Why Worcester Film Festival?
With over 12,000 festivals listed on this platform alone, we appreciate that festival runs are becoming increasingly difficult for filmmakers to plan, navigate or create robust strategies for. Our team have all worked in filmmaking, so we know how that feels to try and find festivals that genuinely engage, have filmmaker’s best interests at their core and don’t exploit, especially in times with ever tightening budgets.
This is why our aim is to deliver a festival that is a valuable and authentic experience for our filmmakers and attendees. We want to champion you and are invested in your ongoing success. We do this by focussing three specific areas – Community, Industry and Education.
Our Ethos
The Worcester Film Festival started because we believe that Worcester can be a destination for filmmaking. However, it takes more than just having film productions in this area to change an entire narrative and culture around a place. Our mission was to put on a festival in every sense of the word, one that would appeal to filmmakers and to the community at large.
Our ethos is to provide an earnest and friendly experience.
