The Palace International Film Festival (PIFF), in partnership with The Palace Collective will be having its third edition in Bristol, United Kingdom.

Piloted in a Polish Palace as part of The Palace residency, this queer film festival bridges the gap between Bristol, Berlin and Wroclaw by connecting queer, film, live performance art and digital immersive technologies.

Our Bristol edition aims to give platform to the LGBTQ voice and to explore progressive queer attitude, from sexposivity to voices from the fringes, whilst celebrating the extension of the term queer. We connect queer work with the non linear and non-conventional in our Palace laboratory, creating conversations and elevating experimentation for the residents and public to interact with.

The Palace International Film Festival is expanding to include immersive digital storytelling and we are looking for Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality to showcase to the Bristol public.

OUR MISSION


* Provide a unique community and intimate space for the filmmaker to make creative connections and showcase their work​

* Celebrate and discover emerging international talent​

* Platform queer voices and ideas

* Nurture a creative community that will forge future collaboration for non commercial filmmakers

* Bridge a cultural gap between the cities of Bristol, Berlin and Wroclaw

* Appreciate film with a unique and intimate exhibition space

* Explore new immersive technologies and storytelling

* Connect with The Palace Artist Residency community, sharing our skills, knowledge and resources for future collaborations

ASSERTING WOMEN'S RIGHTS is a project that has emerged from Festival de Málaga, Mabel Lozano (documentary filmmaker and collaborator of the Festival), and the Equal Opportunities Area of Malaga City Council as a protest tool. This section is created with the aim of exploring and dealing with issues that contribute to social awareness of women's rights each year.

This section of Festival de Málaga was born in 2008, this being its 18th edition. The project is conceived with a double purpose: to inform about the injustices that women still suffer in this century for the mere fact of being women, and to encourage and support the cinematographic work created by women.
