Join us for DIY Filmmaking Challenge Showcase: a celebration of some of the best films made by young, Northern filmmakers as part of DIY Filmmaking Challenge: Sci-Fi.
This screening takes place at Showroom Cinema, Sheffield, from 14:30 on Sunday 18 February. Tickets are £4.
Late last year, we challenged filmmakers aged 16-25 to make no-budget, micro-short films experimenting with science fiction storytelling. At this event, we’ll showcase the shortlisted entries and announce the winning filmmaker, who will receive £1,000 development funding to make their next short.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring filmmaker Sean Mckenna (Future Perfect, Dead Whistle Stop), Nora Murphy (BFI Film Academy Coordinator, Showroom Cinema) and Sam Barnett (Talent Producer, Film Hub North).
This event is open to all - including challenge participants, aspiring filmmakers and film fans who want to see new work from the region’s emerging filmmakers.

Alone - by Jasmine Stephenson & Karol Iwan
