Northern Exposure Short Film Night
Event details
Northern Exposure is a touring film programme showcasing the best short films from the North of England.
This programme has been selected by a group of young, Northern film curators who have scoured the region to discover the stories that matter to them and the local filmmakers to get excited about.
Expect a bold mix of fact and fiction, animation and live action – and anything else in-between. This screening will include an introduction by the Film Hub North team and Young Programmers where you can find out about our upcoming training, funding and programming opportunities available.
Following the screening there will be a Q&A with featured filmmakers from the showcase, hosted by the Film Hub North Young Programmers who worked collaboratively to create the programme. Afterwards, the Film Hub North team invite you down to the bar for where you can meet and connect with likeminded creatives and hear about other opportunities available through the hub.
