We started the 1 World Film Festival in order to showcase our officially selected filmmakers to our appreciative audiences. In our festival we will screen the most innovative new films from filmmakers around the world in all different genres including drama, comedy, documentary, experimental, horror, animation and more. All we require is that films are made with conviction, a quest for originality and will involve an audience. This season we will screen our festivals in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in Europe with a fascinating history.
