PQA Film Festival North Official Selection 2024

14th October 2024

Its that time of year again for another stroll down the glamorous festival red carpet! Almost a whole year has passed since our academies got all dressed up to enjoy the glitz and glamour of the PQA Film Festivals!

See our amazing line-up of Official Selection films below, a celebration of our brightest young filmmakers and those that make their creativity possible.

In total we received over 400 short film submissions from our academies which gave our judges a really difficult task, we really do wish we had time to screen every film. We say it every year, but the talent on display on screen and behind the lens just keeps getting better!

The selected films will be screened at Sheffield Cineworld on Sunday 24th November, with students, teachers, and parents getting to enjoy the films on the big screen and be presented with their awards!
