Wayward 2018: London, UK: September 2018
Wayward promised you country-hopping. Join us in London for more films outside the box in 2018. Expect cross-genre film screenings, competition screenings, live music and performance, roundtables, education sessions, and plenty of networking sessions so fun they feel more like a party.
