A cinematic exploration of a shifting place & time.
Margate Film Festival is a project born out of the turbulence of changing cultural landscapes and a love for the chaos of creativity. A journey through the wilderness of the cinema; of art, politics, identity, feminism, music, performance and more.
For our 6th festival, our vision is clear - to expand the festival and entertain more filmgoers, innovate and inspire our existing and new audiences.
The festival celebrates Margate’s creative DIY culture, as well as it’s rich past and diverse cultural identity. Margate Film Festival opens submissions to the public and invites artists and filmmakers to enter shorts, features and experimental works for consideration in the 2025 festival. A special interest will be paid to artists' films and locally-made works.
Margate Film Festival is a not-for-profit, volunteer-led, grassroots community
organisation.
