EFEA is a community-led film festival taking place in May 2022 in the heart of East Anglia. The festival will showcase the very best experimental moving-image works from the region as well as internationally. We are looking for works that actively subvert cinematic conventions and use filmic language to abstractly delve into the many realms of human experience.

We wish to especially highlight works from the East of England, consisting of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, and Essex. EFEA will be a fantastic chance for these under-represented artists to show their work in a setting surrounded by multiple generations of experimental filmmakers - all with the goal of deepening our understanding of our craft.

The two-day event will be filled with workshops and talks helmed by award-winning filmmakers, sharing their methodologies, and helping usher in the newest generation of experimental practitioners. With our Best Celluloid category, we actively encourage works that are shot on film - either 8mm or 16mm, with the opportunity for prints to be projected to a live audience in an authentic setting.
