KIFF will be taking place 24-26 June 2022 in the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames. We will be showcasing a variety of films and documentaries from around the world, celebrating a diverse range of talent both established and emerging. The festival is dedicated to providing a new, supportive platform to promote British Cinema in particular the small independent production companies that are the bedrock of the UK Film Industry.
"KIFF is a more practical, a more solidly founded and optimistic way of going forward for the film industry than the often ostentatious approach of other film festivals. The industry is crying out for a festival such as this, that is passionate about championing young, independent talent, particularly those starting out in the industry, to help create opportunities for talent that is too often overlooked."
- Mike Newell
