The 7th Braziers International Film Festival will be held from Aug 29 – 31, 2025 at Braziers Park, Oxfordshire, UK.

Festival day passes and tickets for full weekend with camping are now on sale. We hope you can join us for a weekend of cinema, conversation and community!

The festival will feature several curated programmes of international films, plus installations, communal gatherings and discussions with many attending filmmakers. Films are selected by a team of artist-filmmakers and independent curators, who run the festival as a not-for-profit collective, with proceeds going to Braziers Park School of Integrative Social Research, a progressive educational charity and one of Europe’s longest running ‘intentional communities’.

This year, we’re delighted to welcome Mascara Film Club as our guest programmers, who will be curating one of our screening programmes in the barn. We’re excited to announce that our Special Focus screening will be Familiar Phantoms, directed by Larissa Sansour & Søren Lind. The screening will include Sansour’s film Sbara, made during her residency at Braziers International Artists Workshop, and is a special event to mark the 75th anniversary of Braziers Park.

Our 2024 festival edition featured eight curated programmes of international short films. Our Special Focus screening was Foragers, directed by Palestinian artist Jumana Manna, and our installation work was Our future, our past, whisper it to me, directed by Charlotte Ginsborg.

The Glaister Award, as voted by our audience, was awarded to Vibrations from Gaza, directed by artist Rehab Nazzal.
