The Experimental Fiction Film Festival returns on 20 June for a one-night-only showcase of bold international cinema and experimental storytelling. Bringing together emerging and established filmmakers from across the world, the programme explores surreal narratives, speculative worlds, fractured realities, and visually adventurous filmmaking rarely seen on mainstream screens. Expect an evening of distinctive cinematic experiences, exciting conversations, and boundary-pushing fiction film from across the international underground scene.
The evening programme will be concluded by a screening of the best films submitted to this year’s
24/7 Filmmaking Competition. The audience will then get a chance to vote for the winner of the competition, as well as the best film of the festival.
