The paus premieres festival

Manchester, United Kingdom


We are democratising the film industry by giving independent filmmakers the tools they need to earn money directly and engage their network directly via our incredible festival.

We are thrilled to be launching our fourth Paus Premieres Festival, which will be taking place over the duration of autumn and winter this year. This is in light of the huge success of our first 3 festivals, which exceeded our expectations and reached attendance figures upwards of 70,000. We are proudly open to all kinds of submissions and will be introducing category winners ranging from best screenplay to best foreign-language film. As well as the select winners, all shortlisted films will be hosted on the official Paus streaming site and apps, giving you the chance to earn money for your work.

We have previously hosted films that have featured stars such as Sir Ian McKellen, David Tennant, Kate Heron, Sophia Di Martino, Russell Tovey, and Conleth Hill (to name a few); work from BAFTA award winners and Oscar-nominated directors as well as receiving press coverage from Screen Daily, Business Insider, IBC daily, and many more.
