OUR MISSION
The Satisfied Eye International Film Festival’s core mission is to build a film driven campfire; to create experiences where people connect in lasting ways, a vibrant and thriving community of people from all sectors – the industry, the public, families, students, educators, businesses and the media – united in a true celebration of film.
THE AUDIENCE
SEIFF was created to bring together film lovers, filmmakers and film shakers in a vibrant and thriving community, not just during the festival but all year round.
SEIFF brings the excitement of film to all audiences, all demographics, with a hugely diverse and rich programme of feature films, short films, documentaries and animation, from Oscar winners to the darlings of Sundance to those just starting out on their incredible journeys.
THE INDUSTRY
Located a short ride from Central London, our location is a huge benefit, making us accessible to the heart of the industry. SEIFF looks to make important discoveries of upcoming directors, actors, writers and all those involved in the filmmaking process, ensuring it’s a renowned and valued platform for both undiscovered talent and respected industry peers alike.
SEIFF aims to bring to the festival the most superlative and creative films. SEIFF prioritises making the festival an attractive destination for agents, critics, investors and other career-makers.
The festival includes networking, Q&As, screenings, social events and special guests.
AWARDS
Our key objective is for an official selection or award at SEIFF to be a stamp of recognition and true validation.
The annual red carpet awards event rewards excellence, with all submissions judged by a panel divided equally between industry professionals and local filmgoers to ensure a wholly fair and balanced critical process.
All films, scripts and screenplays officially selected receive the festival’s Official Selection laurels to display on any artwork. Award winners will receive awards laurels and the SEIFF trophy. All official selections receive a full festival pass and a ticket to the red carpet awards ceremony as well as an invitation to the networking party with the judging panel and other industry alumni.
