East End Film Festival

One of the UK's largest film festivals, the East End Film Festival is an annual multi-platform festival presenting a rich and diverse programme of international premieres, industry masterclasses, free pop-up screenings and immersive live events. The EEFF’s mission is to discover, support, and exhibit pioneering work by global and local independent filmmakers, and to introduce viewers to innovative and challenging cinematic experiences. The festival has a particular (but not exclusive) emphasis on first and second time directors, and challenging, mould-breaking cinema. Previous guests of the EEFF include Hugh Grant, Jodie Whittaker, Andrea Riseborough, Jerry Hall, Ken Russell, Danny Boyle, Andy Serkis, Ella Purnell, Ron Perlman, Thomas Turgoose, Kat Graham, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Richard E. Grant, Julian Temple, Viv Albertine, Clive Owen, Shekar Kapor, Ben Wheatley and Mike Figgis.
