Our jury has put forward the following films as Official Selections, Finalists & Semi-Finalists for last month’s submission to The People’s Film Festival which culminates at our annual gala - April 2022!
Official Selections
PETER THE PENGUIN
directed by Andrew Rutter
Nigel is on his way to meet his partner's daughter Emily for the first time. With high expectations in tow, he's hoping to make a great impression.
PETER THE PENGUIN is an Official Selection in the Mirco-Budget category.
#NOFILTER
directed by Nathan Crooker
#Nofilter addresses the ever-growing issue surrounding Body Dysmorphic Disorder through the eyes of Beth, an insecure twenty-something, who becomes obsessed with an insidious filter, leaving her to question true beauty. It is a cautionary tale for all those obsessed by "likes," being flawless, and thinking that somehow social media is the magical cure-all for happiness. The film stars Kelly Lamor Wilson and Misha Osherovich from Blumhouse's "Freaky."
#NOFILTER is an Official Selection in the Low Budget category.
UNWRAPPED
directed by Eva Gauley

WHAT MAKES OUR FESTIVAL DIFFERENT?
Every filmmaker gets FEEDBACK included with the price of submission regardless if their film is selected or not.
Our CATEGORIES ARE BASED ON BUDGET so micro-budget shorts don't have to compete with fully funded films.
Winning filmmaker walks away with our £1,000 FILM FUND.
