Join us at the inaugural LET'S ALL BE FREE FILM FESTIVAL 2013, where we will be exploring and celebrating what 'being free' means to people from all over the world - with a weekend of fearless and fascinating short films; guest speakers including AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, BAFTA nominated director KIM LONGINOTTO and human rights organisation LIBERTY; panel discussions; Q&As spoken word; music; and an OPENING NIGHT GALA!

And, in keeping with our ethos, the festival is completely FREE TO ATTEND!

The festival will screen 37 superb new films exploring what it means to be free, including several world premieres.

Highlights include the recently BAFTA nominated The Voorman Problem starring MARTIN FREEMAN; a witty transgender romance starring Heidi Heaslet (NEW GIRL); a documentary about Martin Luther King, Jr., which was screened before President Obama and features former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell; an explosive artistic collaboration between Dutch artist Frank Vroegop and RADIOHEAD; and a moving portrait of life for gay U.S. military members.

The festival will also host speakers including AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL’s Advocacy Director Steve Crawshaw; renowned filmmaker KIM LONGINOTTO (director of new release Salma); Sophie Farthing from human rights organisation LIBERTY; celebrated Dutch filmmaker MARIJN POELS; Prof. Richard Disney, economist and former adviser to the World Bank; and Sean Baine, chair of THE EQUALITY TRUST.

Celebrated spoken word poet Charlie Dupré will also be performing at the festival - with an exciting piece specially written for Let's All Be Free!

We look forward to seeing you there to celebrate the opening of this exciting new film festival!
