Newlyn and Penzance have a unique location at the extreme southwest of the British Isles, with a long tradition of Fishing and Visual Arts. The Newlyn International Film Festival was founded in 2017 by Redcliffe Films, Bristol (Diana Taylor and Anthea Page) and the inaugural event was held in April 2018 at the Centre, Newlyn, Penzance, Cornwall. It showed a selection from 126 submitted films across the course of the weekend The enthusiastic response led directly to a second iteration in 2019 which was hosted at the Acorn Theatre in nearby Penzance a larger venue where we had a free video cafe , and a main hall , we showed 177 films over three days on 2 large screens.
With a highly successful festival we are now launching the 2020 festival in Penzance.
The 2020 Festival will be called the Newlyn PZ International Film Festival.
