Welcome to the English Riviera Film Festival Website

Now open for Entries to the 2025 International Festival Awards

On this website you will find highlights from our journey over the past 9 years and all the latest festival news, together with an interview resource where we talk to film industry directors, producers and artists from the UK and around the world.

Our mission is to celebrate and promote film making in the South West of England as well as provide a showcase for talent from across the globe. In this way we aim to put the South West on the map as a place where the film industry can do business, a picture-perfect location with a wealth of filmmaking talent ready to join the world stage.

We have grown from a single day’s event in 2015 to a year-round programme of screening events, workshops, panels and networking, all culminating in the English Riviera International Film Awards. Previous award winners have hailed from the USA, Canada, Italy, Netherlands and Japan and we have been delighted to offer a warm welcome to delegates from across the globe. Films and film makers who have been highlighted at the Festival have gone on to feature on TV and in cinemas internationally.

 You can follow the latest news about the Festival on our Facebook , Twitter and instagram feeds.
