Leeds Film Night!

Leeds Film Night is set to return for its second edition on Thursday 27th March 2025!​​

​

Growing up, I often felt that my identity as a South Asian was excluded from the mainstream narrative, and stories from my community remained largely invisible or inauthentic. This sense of exclusion fueled my passion to create films that delve into themes of identity and culture, offering nuanced portrayals to inspire empathy and understanding.

​

However, I soon realised how few opportunities exist to bring these stories to life in front of the audiences they are meant to resonate with. This is why Leeds Film Night was created, to fill the absence of festivals and platforms dedicated to showcasing indie and culturally specific films, helping to contribute to a more inclusive and diverse UK film industry.

 

believe that Independent films can reach new heights when accessible to the audience, they were meant for. Therefore, I will be partnering with filmmakers whose stories resonate with the unique interests and backgrounds of our diverse communitie.

​​

I'm particularly looking for films with South Asian themes, or connections to underrepresented communities and the Leeds City Region.  Check eligibility criteria and submit here:
