Bolton Film Festival 2024
The Bolton International Film Festival returns for its eighth edition this year, running from 2-6 October 2024.
The BAFTA and BIFA accredited short film festival, which is proudly sponsored by Bolton Council, will showcase 300 short films, including 34 world premieres, 10 European and 61 national premieres, cementing its reputation as one of the leading events on the festival circuit.
Film enthusiasts are invited to The Light Cinema in Bolton to experience the latest works from some of the world’s most exciting emerging filmmakers.
After each screening, ticket holders will have the opportunity to participate in Q&A sessions with the filmmakers and engage with an industry programme featuring insights from highly respected figures from the film and television industry.
There will also be a special headline event with Oscar winners, Chris Overton and Rachel Shenton (All Creatures Great and Small) returning to Bolton with The Slick Films Pitch, a live competition where five film teams will pitch their projects to a panel of industry experts for a chance to win a £10,000 prize.
