Welcome to the Cheltenham Film Festival

Cheltenham Film Festival is a dynamic new festival for Cheltenham, complementary to the existing festivals Cheltenham is so notorious for staging.

The festival's simple aim is to bring fantastic diverse cinematic experiences to the people of Cheltenham and beyond, staged within the splendour of some of the town's finest historic buildings.

We have worked hard to ensure that during Cheltenham Film Festival all genres of cinema are represented and that there truly is something for everyone; from the restored features of the BFI's Archive, to World cinema from across the globe, old and new, Family features and the Innovations of local media graduates, we are sure you'll find something to excite or move you on one of our four incredible cinema screens.
