Flatpack Festival

Flatpack Festival is a spring festival of film and moving image in Birmingham, England, that sets shorts, features and documentaries alongside live music, visual art, puppetry, poetry and other art forms. Screenings pop up across the city, from cinemas and community hubs to warehouses and other unusual spaces, and live cinema and audiovisual performance are a recurring part of the programme. Colour Box, the family strand, brings films and activities for children. The short film competition is open to all genres and presents awards for animation, screendance, sound, the most unexpected film and the best short, along with audience awards.

The festival is the flagship event of Flatpack Projects, a Birmingham charity whose film nights in Digbeth date back to 2003; the charity also runs outdoor summer screenings, archive and heritage projects and Film Hub Midlands within the BFI Film Audience Network. The 2027 edition runs 4–9 May 2027.
