Festival Programme
Three days. 31 films. Two masterclasses. Filmmaker Q&As, networking, awards, and plenty of opportunities to connect with filmmakers and others who love independent film.
Here’s how Festival weekend is shaping up.
We kick things off Friday evening with Opening Night and the Short Film Showcase, then enjoy a full Saturday and Sunday of films, masterclasses, Q&As, and our Youth Showcase, finishing with the Misty Flicks Awards on Sunday afternoon.
And there’s plenty happening between screenings too.
Festival Pass holders can join us for breakfast on Saturday and our Saturday evening networking function - great opportunities to meet filmmakers, catch up with people from across the screen sector and continue the conversations happening throughout the weekend.
And yes, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to walk the red carpet and get your photo taken too.
Take a look through the programme and start planning your Misty Flicks weekend.
