Nothing excites us more than seeing films that surprise us and show us things that we have never seen before. We love the non-conforming, the extraordinary – the films that dare to do things that others won’t.
We are excited to welcome independent films produced around the globe – films that showcase diverse creativity from every culture.
Join us for our 2023 event where we will be showcasing our fantastic official selections, hosting networking sessions and presenting our ambitious plans for the future of Ignite Film Festival. In addition to this we will be giving attendees the opportunity to put their questions to some of the selected filmmakers during our exclusive Q&A sessions. A perfect opportunity for filmmakers and film lovers to engage directly.
The Ignite Film Festival will be closed out by a lavish gala awards night in our unique location. Expect red carpets, black ties, glamorous gowns, champagne, awards and celebrations, closely followed by networking and dancing for as long as you can manage it.
