Margate Film Festival artist commission

Margate Film Festival is a project born out of the turbulence of changing cultural landscapes and a love for the chaos of creativity – a journey through the wilderness of the cinema.

The festival connects local communities and artists with national and international initiatives to create a DIY, collaborative film & visual arts celebration. This year it will expand to include artists moving image, audio-visual installations and a programme of talks, overlapping with the Turner Prize.

The 2019 festival explores the theme of ‘Against The Tide’, collating stories of political and personal change; exploring migration, transformation and evolution of landscapes, and that of both individual and communal heritage and identities.

Margate Film Festival is a project born out of the turbulence of changing cultural landscapes and a love for the chaos of creativity. A journey through the wilderness of the cinema; of art, politics, identity, feminism, music, performance and more.

The festival connects local communities and artists with national and international initiatives to create a DIY, collaborative film & visual arts celebration. The festival will bring together British and foreign film, shorts and features from the festival circuit; beloved classics and archive film, paired with live experimental performances, Q&As and discussion.

This year it will expand to include artists moving image, audio-visual installations and a programme of talks.
