Calling all filmmakers! Applications now open for 2018 edition

Produced by the Crafts Council and Crafts magazine, Real to Reel is the first UK festival dedicated to craft and moving image. Now in its third year, the festival highlights the extraordinary talent and technique of the making and film communities.

Real to Reel will return to Picturehouse Central London on 8th, 9th and 10th May 2018, to coincide with London Craft Week.

Applications for submissions are now open, until 15 January 2018.

We are interested in all genres: documentaries, story-led films, animation and more, whether celebrating the skills involved in prop making, following the sometimes surreal journeys of individual makers, or exploring ways making brings people together.

To snap the Early bird rate, apply before 31st of October!

We've also released some useful technical notes on how to cinema-proof your craft films!
