Manchester Film Festival

Manchester Film Festival, the city’s premier celebration of new and independent cinema, returns in 2025 with an exciting 10-day programme of screenings, Q&As, and red-carpet events. Taking place at HOME, Great Northern, and venues across the city, the festival showcases a diverse selection of films from around the world.

This year, HOME will host previews of three highly anticipated British features, including Treading Water, a gripping Manchester-set drama. Each screening will be followed by an exclusive Q&A with the filmmakers, offering audiences the chance to engage with the creative minds behind the films.
