RETURNING AUTUMN 2025

A Cinematic Exploration of a Shifting Time & Place.

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.
