London Fields Free Film Festival

The first London Fields Free Film Festival will run from Friday 17 October until Sunday 26 October.

The festival aims to attract local audiences to enjoy a ten day celebration of cinema at a number of venues across London Fields. The festival will showcase an eclectic collection of features, documentaries, shorts, animation and experimental films, with a special focus on Hackney/London based themes and filmmakers. There will be also be Q&As, curated screenings and other special events to take part in, all for free.

London Fields is known across the city for its quirky arts and cultures scene, from the bustle of Broadway Market with its books and broad cuisines to the indie films of Hackney Picturehouse. The festival aims to pay tribute to the talent of the area and engage its diverse community with free events taking place across a range of classic and new venues in the local area, to bring the neighbourhood together in a fun and free environment.

The London Fields Free Film Festival is part of the Free Film Festival community group and is the newest addition to the schedule. There are currently four other established Free Film Festivals across London - Peckham & Nunhead, New Cross & Deptford, Herne Hill and Camberwell.
