Banner Sustain Film Festival

Sustain Film Festival

Guildford, United Kingdom


Sustain is a film, animation, performing arts, and interactive media festival based in Guildford, Surrey—a cathedral town just a short train ride from London. The theme of the festival has environmental overtones, but we welcome submissions from artists, creators, producers and makers from across the creative and cultural landscapes, with an open invitation to interpret the theme as they see fit. We seek stories and artworks far and wide – local regional, national and global. We want to bring people together to promote the future wellbeing of the planet, as well as the current cultural wellbeing of its inhabitants. We want to deliver experiences that explore the very nature of our species, that probe into our psyches, ask big questions of who we are, and who we might become.
