Underwire’s founders Gabriella Apicella and Gemma Mitchell launched the festival in 2010 with the belief that women working in the UK film industry needed more encouragement and a bigger platform for their work. The fact remains that women still make up a small proportion of film creatives, and Underwire looks to recognise the best short work made by women across a range of crafts – from director to cinematographer; screenwriter to editor. Underwire believes that a more gender balanced industry will benefit everyone by creating a diversity of perspectives, stories and experiences for audiences

The 2015 COMMFFEST (Community Film Festival) celebrates its 10th anniversary from September 23 to 30, screening in movie theatres and exhibition spaces, presented yearly by a group of dedicated volunteers. COMMFFEST a non-profit charitable corporation makes its home in one of Toronto’s most fast growing, economically diverse neighbourhood, Old Town Toronto, where many languages are spoken and where memorable films like Robcob; Cinderella Man, Chicago, X-Men, The Hurricane, and Against the Ropes were created.

The TEEN TRUTH (TT) FILM FESTIVAL was developed to provide more youth the opportunity to be heard in order for audiences across the nation to be challenged by the filmmakers' voice and empowered by their message. Using the same core principals that made TT successful, the TT: FILM FESTIVAL is focused on furthering the positive TT movement by featuring the artistic voices of the best student filmmakers from across the country. 

Held in several states across the country and judged by both youth and industry professionals, it promises to be an inspiring celebration of student created content. Please hurry and submit at www.withoutabox.com

Based in Ryde, Isle of Wight, on the south coast of England. This is the first International Film Festival to be held on the Island. With its fantastic golden sands and town on the beach. We aim to become one of the UK’s and internationally sought after film festivals.

So, we are open to anyone out there, who has made a film, thought of making a film, or is in the process of making a film. To send your entries to us use the withoutabox link or post them to us directly.

Films can be up to five years old and with over 20 categories to choose from, there is no excuse for anyone to say they can’t have a go.

If it’s in your wardrobe or under your bed, dust it down and send it off to us and we will show it on one of our big screens on the beach, or at the traditional Commodore Theatre in the centre of town.

Looking forward to seeing you and your films on the beach in April 2011 – don’t forget your swimming costume only for the brave!!!!!

Mission Statement

The aim of the Ryde Isle of Wight International Film Festival is to encourage creativity in all aspects of film production, not dependant on financial and physical restrictions, gender, geographical location, age or ability. We acknowledge and encourage film making through diversity.

The Bay Street Film Festival began as a way to showcase the great work being done by independent filmmakers locally and abroad. Entering its fifth annual festival, the Bay Street Film Festival has proven to be a festival truly devoted "to the people."
