FilmBath The heart of the film world in Bath & home of Bath Film Festival, Movie at the Museum, IMDb Awards and F-Rated

The heart of the film world in Bath, FilmBath (previously Bath Film Festival) is the home of FilmBath Festival, the F-Rating, FilmScore, the IMDb Awards, Pop-up Screenings and more. FilmBath Festival screens an exciting mix of world cinema and UK film previews, filmmaker Q&A sessions and inspiring documentaries. With our F-Rating (https://www.facebook.com/F.Rated.org/) we champion women on screen and behind the camera. We welcome short film submissions and run awards including the IMDb Script to Screen Award (ยฃ5,000 cash prize for the best script for a short film) and the IMDb New Filmmaker Award (ยฃ1,000 for the best short film). We also run film-making and animation workshops for adults and young people to support South West film-making talent and we work with schools and universities to foster appreciation of film culture for the future. Our acclaimed Sounds to Silents projects are a potent mix of silent film plus specially-composed live music - we have worked with Will Gregory of Goldfrapp, jazz saxophonist Andy Sheppard, and pop-art performers The Real Tuesday Weld amongst others. Through the year we invite people to join our FilmClub where we host fascinating films with great guests and an optional supper club. Our mission is to amplify diverse voices on screen and behind the camera.
