Manchester Film Festival
Manchester Film Festival is an A Class festival in all respects. It has a unique filmmaker led approach and there is a strong sense of community fostered through the various networking and drinks events that take place throughout the week. The festival is also exceptionally well organised and the film program is intricately curated with a clear thematic focus running throughout each day’s lineup of movies. I honestly couldn’t recommend attending, or submitting to, MFF enough.” Dan Pringle, Director, Die Before You Die.
Manchester Film Festival is proud to be a BAFTA Qualifying Festival for British Short film and a BIFA qualifying festival for both Shorts and Features and one of the Top 10 Best Reviewed Festivals on FilmFreeway.
The festival celebrated its 11th anniversary in 2025 with remarkable success, featuring sold-out screenings throughout the week. Attendance surged by an impressive 70% compared to previous years, and the festival expects this continue in 2025.
Manchester Film Festival is a ten-day celebration of film, with all films screened in a cinema with full surround sound and crystal-clear visuals.
