Deaffest invites UK and International emerging and established filmmakers to submit their films to the 14th Film and Arts Festival, taking place in Wolverhampton, UK in Spring 2022.
For many years Deaffest has been proudly screening and supporting the works of emerging and established D/deaf filmmakers from the UK and around the globe. We work to showcase not just the films themselves, but also the talents of D/deaf filmmakers, actors, writers and more, providing inspiration to those who aspire to work in the film industry including the young D/deaf generation.
As the home of Deaf Films, we would like to extend that opportunity to you. So, whether your film is a short film, feature length, documentary, artistic, etc., if you want a chance of having your film shown on the big screen then submit your film to us.
Thank you to those who have submitted their film to Deaffest 2022, the deadline has now passed.

Zebra Access is delighted to share that with the support of the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery, Deaffest on Tour will take place this year!
While the biennial festival is returning to Wolverhampton next Spring 2022, Deaffest will be going on tour for the first time this Spring and will travel to four UK based locations. We announced that the tour would take place last year but due to the COVID-19 pandemic it had to be postponed. With thanks to the BFI, we are now looking forward to bringing Deaffest on Tour back!
Keep an eye on our website and social media for information regarding the tour.
Our end of the year newsletter is now out!
Over the next month we may go quiet online as we are currently working on several projects. If you need to get in touch with us, the best way is to email us at enquiries@deaffest.co.uk.
We would like to thank those who have supported Deaffest and we hope next year will bring a better year for all of us. We wish everybody good health and a wonderful festive Christmas.
