About

During the 2007 run of the festival, screenings took place in 12 venues in the last two weeks of March hi-lighting films from the three county region of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. The screening attendance was in excess of 1000, and the festival received in 2007 close to 150 submissions.

Viewfinder aims to nurture countywide media education and support media projects across our many communities, forging links between film-makers, schools, councils, venues, colleges, universities and the media industry. The films chosen for the festival represent digital film production in the region and represent work from all ages, amateur to professional. As well as being a celebration of the films produced, the screenings are also meant to inspire, stimulate and educate the audience to get more involved in digital film production.

Viewfinder is a regional film festival seeking to build regional audiences for locally made films by emerging filmmaking talent. The festival aims to develop filmmaking skills at primary, secondary, and higher educational levels, and to support the work of independent filmmakers both amateur and professional in the three-county area. By principally showing films produced by young filmmakers, the festival attracts audiences of all ages to the screenings and instils an appreciation of such work at an early age.
