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.

Margate Film Festival 2024 is now over. Thank you for attending! We’ll be back in 2025 with event more films, events and activities.
