The Southend Film Festival celebrated its 10th year anniversary over the weekend and continued to show why it remains one of the most prestigious annual events in the UK for filmmakers. Delivering a strong diverse range of independent films specially selected for the festival, it gives the audience a unique opportunity to see films which they would not normally get to see on the big screen.
The festival creates an amazing atmosphere over the weekend with guests and filmmakers interacting by the bar between films. In fact, the only issues I had was the number of great films playing simultaneously, which often left me divided as to what I should watch.
