    Fabulous festival! Friendly, well organised with a great selection of films. Was an honour to have ‘Misdirection’ screened.

  • Flip a Coin Productions

    Our director and Producer (Katie Hatt and Louis Whitehead) thoroughly enjoyed attending the entire ceremony, and the whole team at Flip A Coin Productions are overwhelmed by the generous and invaluable prize following our journey to the 80th Venice Film Festival! Moreover, the industry speakers and sponsors Katia Greco and Lisa O’Hare were also an extremely informative addition, with in one case, supporting the festival with a wonderful screening of one of Greco's own roles, as part of Italian horror 'Cruel Peter'.

  • Thanks for selecting "Enter the Room" as a finalist into your festival. The communication was clear and frequent and I received everything I needed. I had a very good experience at this festival and will definitely consider submitting future films to Lancaster International Film Festival.
