Northern Exposure 2026
Chester International Film Festival 2026
Event details
Film Hub North’s short film showcase, Northern Exposure, brings the best short films from the region to venues and festivals across the North of England.
All of the featured films have been selected by a group of young Northern film curators who have scoured the region to uncover stories that resonate with them and champion emerging local filmmakers. Expect a bold mix of fact and fiction, animation and live action – and everything in between.
Northern Exposure is delivered by Film Hub North as part of BFI Film Academy. BFI Film Academy offers opportunities for ambitious 16-25 year olds, anywhere in the UK, to get to know more about film and how to forge a career in the screen industries.
This event is supported by BFI Film Academy, awarding National Lottery funding.
