Mission

The mission of the Newlyn PZ Film Festival is to raise the profile of filmmaking within the South West and to support local filmmakers through networks and recognition. Newlyn and West Penwith form a unique environment for filmmakers, both in terms of locations and local talent and creativity. The varied festival programme aims to encourage filmmakers from all backgrounds as well as attracting new audiences to short film. We aim to cover the full possibilities of creative filmmaking through the range of award categories and careful scheduling of each screening session. Encouraging networking for all attendees.

2020 Festival

We’re excited to be starting our third festival run over the weekend of Friday 24th- Sunday 26th April 2020

The selected feature films will be given a priority screening slot. The Film Festival is truly a celebration of film, created and curated with the filmmakers in mind. Our festival is about more than just watching films, and we will create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for all attendees to enjoy and discuss between screenings in comfortable and relaxed environments.

Much of the value we offer comes from attending and enjoying the event, networking with the other filmmakers, and assessing the audience reactions to your film. We look forward to welcoming you to the 2020 event.
