- About
- Submission Info
Sunrise Film Festival, based in Suffolk UK it was founded in 2021, by filmmakers for filmmakers, with the last edition taking place in October 2023.
We’re passionate about creating a platform for filmmakers who are yet to be discovered (or picked up by the bigger film festival circuit), whilst also championing filmmaking and the media industry across East Anglia, with Lowestoft at its core set in a seaside setting.
In 2023 we screened just over 130 independent films as part of our official selection to our live audiences and presented 14 prestigious awards at our festival award ceremony. We work hard to help in promoting your film to an ever-growing UK wide indie film-loving audience.
Officially Selected entries from each category are screened at our film festival as part of our official programme, winning films will receive a highly coveted trophy, a framed certificate, and media coverage.
We value and proudly promote films from any filmmaker, creative, or producer to the general public, which enables them to view something different, regardless of how big or small their budget for creating a film is, in a region that is under-represented for opportunities to engage with independent film. Including receiving submissions from first-time filmmakers, female/non-binary filmmakers, neurodiverse filmmakers, stories from the LGBTQIA+ community, people with lived experience, as well as films focussing on social and environmental issues.
