Telling Tales International Film and Audio Documentary Festival

In the UK every year we are privileged to festivals dedicated to film. These range from features with big budgets and big stars to Independents with low budgets and no stars but what is missing is the exhibition of non-fiction documentary work, not only in film but also audio, the fastest growing area in field. We aim to fill that need at the Telling Tales International Film and Audio Documentary Festival through dedicating ourselves to the annual theatrical exhibition of non-fiction cinema and audio documentaries. Each summer, Telling Tales will welcome Documentary professionals, students and lovers from around the world to Manchester, England, for a three-day, array of films, audio and Northern hospitality. Set within the city centre, this festival aims to nurture community and conversation among documentary students, professionals, and the public. The festival is a program of the Centre for Historical and Contemporary Documentary Practice and supported through the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Manchester Metropolitan University.
