Who we are

The Emerging Talent Film Festival is brought to you by the dedicated and passionate programmers of the New Renaissance Film Festival, London. Our mission is to showcase the best and most innovative independent cinema out there, and we’re committed to helping emerging talent break into the industry.

NRFF has been described as “One of the UK’s top film festivals” by London METRO, and we’ve been featured in prestigious publications like Vogue, GQ, and iD magazine. As a registered IMDB film festival, we’re proud to have been ranked in the top 100 best-reviewed film festivals on FilmFreeway since 2016 (#11 as of October 2021), out of a field of over 15,000 festivals worldwide.

We’re dedicated to helping promising filmmakers and screenwriters connect with producers and industry professionals to take their careers to the next level. Thanks to the generosity of our patron, we’ve given away more than £8,000 in cash prizes to emerging talent since 2021 – and we’re always looking for new ways to support up-and-coming artists.

While cash prizes aren’t available for the Emerging Talent Film Festival just yet, we’re working hard to make this a reality in the near future. So don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to showcase your talent, connect with industry insiders, and take the first step towards a successful career in filmmaking or screenwriting. Apply now and join us on the path to success!
