CALLING ALL FILMMAKERS

Film is at the centre of the Festival, transporting us to adventures far and wide, giving us an intimate perspective on wilderness and cultures beyond our own.

Our International Film Competition presents 12 awards each year. Our Jury is led by broadcast correspondent and producer Keme Nzerem and a selection of industry experts and adventurers.Submitting to a film festival gives your film a life of its own! It is an opportunity to see your film curated within a programme; this can emphasis elements of a film beyond a singular viewing, and draw your project and protagonists into an exhilarating community at the Festival. Our audience are an enthusiastic and committed bunch, and it’s rare for a Kendal filmmaker to finish the Festival without a personal chat on one part or another of their production in one of the town's bars!
