Norwich Film Festival is a BAFTA and BIFA qualifying short film festival which showcases films by local, national and international filmmakers, both independent and mainstream.
Every November, our festival transforms Norwich into a celebration of independent cinema, showcasing bold storytelling, emerging talent and award-winning filmmaking in one of the country’s most beautiful and historic cities.
Alongside NFF 2026, we’re bringing some truly special cinema experiences to Norwich – from rarely seen 35mm screenings and a silent horror masterpiece with a live score, to an evening with two leading voices in horror and a big-screen film quiz with Ali Plumb.
Whether you’re a horror fan, an anime obsessive, a lover of classic cinema or simply looking for a great night out, there’s plenty to discover.
