As we move out of pandemic mode we are really pleased to be welcoming "other things" back to the Romford Film Festival this year after a year of screenings only with guests being dragged off up to the dome for one-on-one interviews.


As well as having in screen Q&A's back and the re-opening of the bar, we have a variety of other events lined up these include a session on mask making, some round tables with this years films on a variety of film related subjects. Ayvianna Snow (pictured centre above earlier this year at the horror festival) will be back, this time in her role in her role as Chair of the West & Southwest London Branch of Equity. We also have a number of other speakers including director Richard Colton, Steve Braund the creator of  the Manfish creature from the film Manfish, Multi-Award winning director Nicole Pott and additional talks on social media in film and shooting in Central Asia.


Tuesday 24th May is all about UK film with a whole day of features and shorts from across the United Kingdom with more than a dozen Q&A sessions.


And lets not forget the return of The Eurasian Creative Guild Festival (a festival with a festival) bringing 14 hours of Central Asian cinema and other film and art related entertainment.
