Journeys Into Film is seeking submissions of short films to form part of a film programme will tour to multiple venues as part of festivals and existing events. We are looking for films about migration, displacement, belonging, and seeking sanctuary.

We especially welcome submissions made by (emerging or established) filmmakers, directors, producers and writers with lived experience of migration or seeking sanctuary – based in the UK or Internationally.

We enjoy fiction and non-fiction films up to 30 minutes in length. These are with an eye to share with our North/Midlands based UK audience, therefore we require films to be subtitled in English language. It is great if your film is already subtitled, though if it is not and you can provide an English language transcript, we can arrange subtitling.

Through this programme we seek to engage a wide range of people across the UK – this will include a combination of those who have an interest in short form film – as well as more general audiences – including families and young people. As such our programme for Journeys Into Film will be open to a balance of subjects, narratives and themes.
