It's DFFB 2020! That means it's the 5TH ANNUAL DFFB so we are going all out!

We've been so happy to be bringing free film screenings to Bradford (and now also Oakland, CA) since 2016. We pride ourselves on being filmmaker-focused and putting unique and interesting films in front of new audiences without charging crazy ticket prices for screenings.

2020 will be no different, if anything it will be a continuation and improvement on all our work from the last 4 years, so please send us your best most interesting stuff and help us put on the best most interesting events going!

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT
My goal in founding Drunken Film Fest was to provide comfortable, unique, and most importantly FREE spaces to show our films. That led me to the amazing local pub scene of Bradford - hence 'Drunken' Film Fest. It's not about getting drunk on booze; it's about getting drunk on film, having great conversations, and exploring the amazing venues this city has to offer.

— Jax Griffin, festival founder and director

  • Declan Bracewell

    My film had a nice reception and then seeing other films and the fact that I was talking to the filmmakers without me feeling too much shy was very good too. A great privilege to be within the same space as these films. Very intimate if you would like to visit one of the bars it will be showing at next year.

    Unfortunately I was not able to attend the fest, but the organizers were great communicating with me about my film. For those that did attend, it seemed like everyone had a great time and had wonderful things to say about the organizer and the programming. I were thrilled to be a part of it!
