Welcome to the first year of the Heart of England Film Festival.
Due to unforeseen logistics there is, unfortunately, to be a change of venue and date for the festival. As soon as we have agreed a new venue and new festival date it will announced on the site immediately. Apologies, but it was beyond our control.
The Midlands of England is a growing force in the fields of film and entertainment...
"The Heart of England"
We are an International Film Festival which aims to showcase: Features, Shorts, Animations, Music Videos and Documentaries from all over the world!
It is also our aim to showcase the film making talent, and passion for film, that we have right here in the Midlands of England and place it where it belongs... On the global stage!!
The Festival Screenings:
Along with showing micro-short shorts, short films and feature films (2.5 hours max) that are set as narratives and documentaries, we also strongly encourage all facets of filmmaking; bringing our audience a wide platform of entertainment from animated films, music videos, experimental and so much more. The only limit to what we will show is set only by the imagination of talented filmmakers!
Q & A's:
HOEFF is passionate about giving our audience a fully immersed festival that does not end with the credits. We offer the opportunity of speaking with the filmmakers to sit and chat with the audiences about their films after they have been screened.
