Phoenix Rising International Film Festival (PRIFF UK) is a London-based independent film festival dedicated to championing bold, diverse, and emerging voices in cinema. Founded to provide a platform for filmmakers outside the mainstream, PRIFF has quickly grown into one of the UK’s most dynamic festivals, showcasing work from over 30 countries each year.

We celebrate innovation across genres, from drama, comedy, and documentary to sci-fi, fantasy, and fan films, with dedicated categories highlighting women-directed shorts, Black and Ethnic Minority filmmakers, and socially conscious storytelling.

Beyond screenings, PRIFF is a community: connecting filmmakers with audiences, fostering international collaboration, and supporting careers through networking and new exciting initiatives due to be announced soon!

With a commitment to inclusivity, creativity, and cinematic excellence, PRIFF UK continues to spotlight stories that inspire, provoke, and ignite conversation.

Join us in celebrating the filmmakers of tomorrow.
