Welcome to 2020 English Riviera Film Festival Awards day programme
With the notion of a venue capacity audience an impossibility, the English Riviera Film Festival and its team of volunteers would have been forgiven for simply postponing the 6th outing of Torbay’s annual celebration of new film-making. But with dozens of films having been submitted for the event both before and during this year’s lockdowns, the festival, in partnership with South Devon College, we decided to follow the lead of many a blockbuster hero and forge on against the odds. We are very proud of this years online programme and the film makers taking part and we can’t wait for the Festival to start .
