Braziers International Film Festival offers an opportunity for independent filmmakers to show their work to an enthusiastic audience, in a unique, historical setting. We accept films in any genre, including experimental, documentary, animation, comedy, fiction. The festival takes place on the Braziers Park estate, home to the annual Supernormal Festival. Films are projected to audiences in a cinema-style environment, with screenings, workshops and special events taking place inside a large, historic 17th century barn adapted for public performances, in addition to the Gothic manor house and custom-built outdoor structures. Screening are followed by group discussion and Q&A with attending film-makers, who will be invited to Braziers.

Braziers Park is a community, a residential college and an architectural treasure hidden deep in the south Oxfordshire countryside. It was founded in 1950 as a progressive educational trust, and is the UK's longest-running 'intentional community'. Braziers' community members share responsibility for running the mansion house, 55 acres of land, organic kitchen garden and livestock, facilitating courses and organising events assisted by visiting volunteers from around the world.
