Thanks to our audience!

Despite unusual circumstances, three postponements, and an 80% reduction in our venue’s normal capacity, we estimate that over the five days of our festival in August, we received over 1700 visitors combined across short film sessions, masterclasses, workshops, virtual reality experiences, feature film screenings and the awards evening. Check out our gallery of the best pictures from the event.
