Romford Short Film Festival

Films screened must come with physical representation, our dates are transparent we will not screen a film unless someone is there to discuss the film with an audience.

Films submitted cannot be withdrawn because they are selected for other festivals, Romford Film Festivals have and continue to provide one of the best UK platforms for film makers looking to expand their journey into major international festivals.

We do not offer waivers.

There is no exclusion for films that have been featured at other film festivals, films currently available on streaming services may also be included.

We do not pay revenue shares to screen your film, if you submit your film don't ask for it the response may only hurt your feelings.

Filmmakers travelling from oversees are not paid for attending, Romford Film Festival prides itself on its Not For Profit status. However if filmmakers choose to attend, they will receive free festival tickets, be considered for awards (as will any submission) and will be part of a Q&A at the end of their film which is recorded, displayed on social media channels and sent to associated press.

We require a DCP to play your film, if you do not have one you have two options, expect it will play from a laptop in which case hit may show issues and sound will be of a pooper standard, or we can create you one for £50 which includes a pen drive to hold it. This isn’t an excuse to exploit filmmakers, however industry standard is a DCP, this ensures your film looks and sounds as good as it can.
