To cope with the increased demand for submissions and the wider audience pool this year, we will be screening films at various venues across the New Forest area.
Have a look below to find out where we will be in 2019 as well an seeing where we came from last year, and come back for more info as we add it in the run-up to the festival in June 2019.
We're excited that Brockenhurst College is going to be the venue for the Awards Ceremony in June 2019.
The event will be ticket-only and we hope to see as many of the film-making finalists there as possible. Those who win will receive their awards at a "Splash of Red" event. It's as smart as black tie and as important as a red carpet but allows for some fun and creativity in the outfits you wear on the night.
All winning films will be screened in full and the winners will also receive an Award and a Prize, presented by one of our amazing presenters.
The venue looks empty and bland at the moment, but it's a blank canvas we have big plans for.
We are hoping to cater the event, with a bar and space to meet and greet the other attendees - what is a film event if not a networking opportunity - don't forget your business cards.
There's lots of local accommodation and public transport nearby.
We shall be creating an Event page to let you know who will be presenting what and everything else about the evening a bit closer to the time.
Once the finalists in each of our six categories were chosen, we screened their films to a select audience of 30 industry professionals at the Regal Cinema in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in order to determine the Category Winners and the overall "Best of Festival" winner.
The cinema was refurbished just before our event and you might like to take a look at their website and see what they've achieved.
No specific details yet for 2019, but a venue we intend to use again.
This venue will be putting on themed menus throughout the nine days of the festival and a film quiz on one evening. More details to come.
