Bang! 2013 will also be expanding again with the inclusion of a new section, announcements to be made soon.

We are an all inclusive festival devoted to showing your work on the big screen & promoting the films through other quality screening opportunities around the UK & Internationally.

Bang! Screens new & emerging filmmakers alongside the big established names creating an exciting mix of work & a brilliant night out!

We are now open for submissions for 2013!

Last year team bang received an overwhelming 600 films submitted to the festival, proving once and for all that despite tough economic times the short film industry is not only alive and well but thriving. We were amazed not only by the quantity but the quality of the work we received, making curating each section a challenging task for our wonderful panels to take on. However, after much deliberation (not to mention square eyes!)we were able to put together a jam packed program of 133 incredible short films over the 9 different sections that screened over the 3 day event.

The festival was a huge success with all sections going down a storm and 2 sections (Crash Bang! Wallop and Community) selling out completely. We also had the privilege of awarding our Rights In Motion Award (in association with the Human Rights Law Center) awards to Francisco Glez's thought – provoking “The Norm” for Best International and Karen Watson's harrowing “Daddy's Little Bit Of Dresden China” for Best British. From all at bang!, a massive thank you to all those who helped make 2012 one of our most successful years to date.

Thank you to our fabulous curators Sophia Ramcharan (The Source), Carly & Martin (Crash, bang! Wallop ), Max Crow (Bangimation), Gaylan Nazhad (Middle East), Amanda Smith (HEdge), Michael Holyk & Scorzayzee (mu-sic-vid-e-o), Agnes Flues & the team from the Human Rights Law Center ( Rights In Motion), and everyone on the panels who assisted them.

Steve Mapp, Caroline Hennigan and all the wonderful staff at Broadway Cinema for their continued support and assistance.

Harry Thomas Digital for his continued hard work on the bang! website.

Our enthusiastic audience who turned out in their droves to be showered with popcorn and support the short film industry.

Last but certainly not least, all of the amazing, inspiring film makers whose creativity and passion for film is the driving force behind the bang! Short Film Festival. We look forward to receiving more of your work for bang! 2013.
