Romford Film Festival is an annual film festival held in Romford, London, United Kingdom. Founded by Spencer Hawken and Natalie Bays in 2017, Romford Film Festival holds two annual festival events in London, The Romford Film Festival, held in May and The Romford Horror Festival (AKA HorRHIFFic) held in February.
The festival presents feature length narrative and documentary films, shorts, animations, experiments and music videos. Each year the festival features a heavy body of work from across the world, with between 130-190 films screened each year. Partnering with the ECG (Eurasian Creative Guild) the festival has a strand of films from Central Asia.
Romford Film Festival provides a platform for filmmakers from across the world at varied stages of their filmmaking journey, championing both established and novice filmmakers. Fast gaining a name for itself globally, the festival frequently has world premieres of films and provides a platform for filmmakers screening lost films, that have fallen through the gaps of standard filmmaking procedures.
In 2021 representatives from Romford Film Festival became the first British representatives to attend Tashkent Film Festival to showcase British Cinema. The Uzbekistan Film Festival returned for the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union and worked with representatives across the globe to attend the week long event.[1]
In 2022 the festival went through its BAFTA accreditation making it one of the youngest film festivals to go through the process[2]
History[edit]
Romford Film Festival began after it was noted that the area of London where the festival takes place had little film representation cinematically verses the vast number of films made locally. The festival has its home at Premiere Cinema in Romford an 8 screen multiplex. The festival has held a significant number of world premieres including Blind, Puppet Killer & Crowhurst. The festival is recognised by The British Film Council[3]
