North Edinburgh Film Festival

This one-day film festival celebrates Community & Place.
A festival FOR and OF the community of North Edinburgh; much of the work screened at NEFF will have been created - currently and over the past 4+ decades - by local film makers and groups.

However, the themes that run through the social fabric of our unique community are global. For our 3rd festival, we're looking for films, from anywhere in the world, that explore:

Working class lives
Social Activism
Community Wealth Building
Social or community focussed art making

The whole event includes:
Short-form documentary,
Short-form drama,
Artist's moving image,
Creative workshops,
Exhibitions,
Expanded cinema
Family-friendly, feature screening.

The festival is hosted by North Edinburgh Arts, working in collaboration with Screen Education Edinburgh - two organisations with deep roots in the communities of Muirhouse, Pilton, and Granton.

In 2025, NEFF will be held at North Edinburgh Arts' newly developed building which includes a theatre for screenings and performances as well as workshops, exhibition spaces and a café.

This event is free to submit and free entry to audiences. If you feel your work, from anywhere in the world, touches upon the ethos if this festival, please submit.
