The Palace International Film Festival ()

Фестиваль начинается: 15 Апрель 2020      Фестиваль заканчивается: 19 Апрель 2020

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​
