Phoenix Rising International Film Festival

The Phoenix Rising International Film Festival (PRIFF) was founded by filmmakers Victor De Almeida and Ewa Habdas, and describes itself as a festival “created by filmmakers for filmmakers”. Its aim is to build a global community where independent filmmakers can showcase their work and develop partnerships within the industry.

Each year the festival puts together a three-day programme of independent short films from the UK and around the world, alongside workshops for filmmakers and actors, and closes with an awards ceremony celebrating the year’s best films.
