Margate Film Festival (UK) is open for submissions - shorts, features, artist moving image, and yes, AI films welcome
We're a not-for-profit, volunteer-led film festival based in Margate, Kent, now in our 7th year. We programme independent world cinema and visual arts with a focus on diversity, rebellion, feminism, and bold personal and cultural identities; the kind of films that don't always find a home at bigger festivals.
We're open to shorts, features, and artists' moving image. We actively welcome AI filmmaking this year as part of our programme, looking for strengths in storytelling and craft within new technology.
Deadline: 1 July 2026 Submit: filmfreeway.com/MargateFilmFestival
Happy to answer any questions about what we're looking for.
