The greatest celebration of creative media the world has ever known. The Tees Valley International Film Festival is a three day celebration of all aspects of the craft of filmmaking. We invite undiscovered and independent filmmakers from all over the world to submit their short films for inclusion in the festival, the best of which will be screened across the course of the three days. From there, a select few will be nominated for an award, the worthy winners being presented with their prize at our glittering closing ceremony.
Based at ARC Stockton Arts Centre, TheTees Valley International Film Festival also comprises gala screenings of major feature films that include live audience Q&As with well known actors and directors. We’re also hosting a number of workshops and seminars lead by top industry professionals, all designed to help achieve our goal of kickstarting a new generation of creative, of all ages and backgrounds, within the Tees Valley.
