In the UK, we already have a lot of amazing film Festivals like BFI London Film Festival, Leeds Film Festival, Norwich Film Festival and from 2018, we’ll be able to add The South Coast Phoenix Film Festival to that long list.

In July next year, Bognor Regis (West Sussex) will host the new and major event. Just like at any other film festival, there will be tons of film screenings, an opening and closing gala and award ceremony. All surrounded by the glitter and glamour of Hollywood.

With this film festival, the organisers want to provide a platform for filmmakers to exhibit their work and advance their career towards the silver screen, and nurture the future of the British film industry by offering a selection of innovative courses and networking events.

If you want to see with your own eyes what the South Coast Phoenix Film Festival has to offer, go and check it from the 6^th of July 2018 until the 8^th of July 2018. An extra reason why you should visit it is the fact that a percentage of profits will go to the Capital Project Trust, a local mental health charity.

More information can be found on www.phoenixfestival.org soon or on their Facebook page. If you’d like to get involved with the festival, email pj@phoenixfestival.org
