2021 Event
Next year will be our 8th consecutive season. We are looking forward to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe next August and a return to our regular venue, the Symposium Hall, as part of theSpace UK's Festival programme. Entries open in Spring 2021.
2020 Event (Covid enforced rescheduling from cancelled Edinburgh Fringe)
The 2020 Nightpiece Film Festival ran over two days on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October at The Avenue Theatre, Sittingbourne, Kent, UK. This was our Covid enforced rescheduling from the cancelled 2020 EdFringe but we made it happen. Despite all the chaos we were live!

In virtual form, part of the 2020 Nightpiece Film Festival was associated with Edinburgh Fringe this August. Featured as part of theSpaceUK's virtual Fringe programming on YouTube we premiered Festival Director Al Carretta's 16th indie feature film - 'Set Roaring War' which was produced entirely in UK lockdown.
Nightpiece Film Festival History
Since 2014 we have premiered films that have gone on to many other festivals across the world. Recent examples that began their festival runs at Nightpiece include Kit Loyd's 'The Audition' (2019), Charlotte Bydwell's 'The Nude Model' (2018) and Keith Farrell's 'Rabbit Punch' (2017).
