Margate Film Festival is open for submissions for it’s November 2025 season.
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.
The festival connects local communities and artists with national and international initiatives to create a DIY, collaborative film & visual arts celebration. The festival will bring together British and foreign film, shorts and features from the festival circuit; beloved classics and archive film, paired with live experimental performances, Q&As and discussion.
This year it will expand to include artists moving image, audio-visual installations and a programme of talks.
If you are a filmmaker, you can submit your films for consideration via FilmFreeway:
