British Student Film Festival provides young people with an opportunity to develop and exhibit to a wider audience. We are screening and celebrating the work of school, college and university students from a broad socio-economic and geographical pool. We are the largest student film festival in the UK.

We are promoting the diversity, depth and quantity of creative work produced by young people every year. The magnitude of this output is statistically proven and we provide an outlet for the filmmakers to be publicly recognized. This is being done through screening their short films as well as providing a curated film installation exhibition space, which is open to the public for free. All work entered into the festival is screened. Selected short-listed films will be eligible for our eleven awards categories. Awards will be presented for the films that are exemplary in their
execution.



We are overseeing that entry is affordable for all students. Our board of Creative Patrons and 2012 Judges comprise of industry professionals and academics committed to helping bridge the void between student filmmakers and the industry. They include Sam Taylor-Wood, Rankin, Sally Phillips, Peter Kosminsky, Pawel Pawlikowski, Jonathan Amos and Matt Lipsey.
