The Earth is sick. People all over the world are being forced to stay indoors and it seems like all hope is lost. In the UK - and indeed all over the world, our doctors and nurses are working day and night to fight the fight of COVID-19. While we keep our pledge of staying indoors and away from our loved ones, they keep their pledge of saving lives, fighting the virus and reuniting us with our loved ones.

​The Isolation Film Fest has been set up by filmmakers to help unite the world in a creative effort to help combat social isolation in a time where some have never felt more alone. Film and TV have always been in our rooms and hearts since the early days and have kept us company during world wars, economic crashes, personal crises and it is our vision that it will continue to keep us together during this pandemic.

​We are delighted to welcome peoples from all over the world to enter the Isolation Film Festival - the first and hopefully the last of its kind. A film competition that seeks to unite the world with the overall theme of 'Hope' We are further glad to announce that 100% of entry fees (which will be donation based) will go towards The Cavell Nurses Trust who help financially support our great British doctors and nurses and further healthcare professionals who are working on the front line to combat COVID-19.
