Bath Film Festival

16 – 25 October 2026

If you love discovering great films, hearing from the people who make them and experiencing cinema in unexpected ways, then welcome to Bath Film Festival.

Now in its 36th year, Bath Film Festival brings together audiences, filmmakers and industry professionals for ten days of extraordinary film experiences across the city. From major previews and award-winning international cinema to documentaries, special events, filmmaker Q&As, industry talks and the IMDb Awards, the festival celebrates the power of film to entertain, challenge and connect us.

What makes Bath Film Festival unique is the way we bring film into some of Bath’s most distinctive spaces. Alongside screenings in the city’s cinemas, you’ll find film paired with live music, food, heritage venues, conversations, performances and one-off experiences that can’t be replicated anywhere else.

At its heart, Bath Film Festival is about discovery. Championing independent voices, international perspectives, South West talent and underrepresented stories, we invite audiences to see the world through different eyes and share those experiences together.
