Founded in the Wycombe District in 2015, we are a team of volunteers driven by a desire to enhance our local experience of contemporary film culture and to offer a ladder of opportunities for filmmakers to exercise creativity, develop their talent, and showcase their skills (with local links to Bucks New University, NFTS and national organisations like the  BFI).

Our values are:

Celebration; of talent  and achievement; of cinema and its related arts

Curiosity; about discovering new and extraordinary things : a learning mindset, future-facing, outward looking, seeing the bigger picture, becoming international.   

Creativity; about realising the dream : Offering opportunities for people  which engage, and inform ; something that's not-on-the-high-street.

Connection; about bringing people together, fostering community spirit

Credibility: about  aiming to deliver high production standards in our organisation, festival content and delivery 

Our ambition is to develop in 3 areas: an international filmmaking competition to make Wycombe a destination for filmmaking; a community  programme to stay rooted in the locality ; an arts programme to stay current and keep stirring the melting pot of creativity
