After a nine day short film marathon, there’s no better way to see out the festival than to raise a glass and celebrate some of the best films. After long deliberation from the jury panels, we’ll be presenting this year’s winners with their awards, followed by a special screening of the chosen films.
This grand festival finale is certainly not an event to miss. Tickets are only £5 so book in advance to avoid disappointment.
