Ramsgate International Film & TV Festival

RAMSGATE INTERNATIONAL FILM & TV FESTIVAL, THE FESTIVAL WHERE DIVERSITY IS A MATTER OF FACT! Set in England's Royal Harbour, and the stunning location to multiple award winning and acclaimed TV and Film productions, the 6th Ramsgate International Film and TV Festival will show new works and help promote film makers and cultural awareness. It has become the largest of its kind in the South East and one of the fastest growing festivals in the UK. Our screenings are complemented by an international programme of unique events and seminars, with high profile industry professionals. We are honoured and proud that our Patron, BAFTA, Globe and Cannes Best Actress Winner and Oscar-nominated Brenda Blethyn, will select the best feature film by a first time Director, and will be joined by Award winning guests. Past Jury members have included Nick Broomfield, Jimmy Akingbola, Andy Mayson (Altitude Films), Dee Anderson, Tatyana Yakovleva,... 2022 will celebrate 6 years of screening high quality films and taking care of their film-makers. A beautiful bronze Anchor is awarded to the Best Film of the festival, as well as other prizes including the Brenda Blethyn special award for Best First Feature. Screenings will mainly take place at the Granville Cinema, Ramsgate, and a number of other coastal venues. With the backdrop of the stunning Royal Harbour, unique in the UK, Ramsgate also offers festival goers the opportunity to explore the area rich in culture, maritime heritage and historic architecture, as well as enjoying its waterside and cafés. The Vikings, Romans and early Christians, all first came to the UK via Ramsgate’s coast. Now, travelling by high speed train, London can be reached in 66 minutes and Paris and Brussels are only 2 hours 45 minutes away. The Ramsgate International Film & TV Festival also features Discussion panels with prominent industry representatives and special curated programmes promoting international cinema. 2022 will see the second edition of our hugely successful satellite event Fight Back International Awards, to honour work by or with ex-servicemen.
