This festival aims to inspire and showcase the creativity of student filmmakers worldwide. It is an open festival with no set boundaries; we actively encourage new styles, voices and direction. This is your chance to submit your film(s) and gain an opportunity to showcase your talents at Dirigo. Entries are open from the 9th of October 2019.
In light of COVID. The location of our venue, is in flux. In previous years, we have held the festival at the Arnolfini and the Cube cinema, in Bristol. This year we still hope to have a physical venue. However, we will also be hosting an online version of the festival, so an international audience can enjoy the festival.
If circumstances change, we will keep you updated.
Dirigo is directed and produced by FdA Film & Media Arts Production students from University Centre Weston.
