Festival description (Edition: 0)

Festival start: 16 October 2015 Festival end: 17 October 2015

Many filmmakers have been under-appreciated, both critically and economically.

At Friday Night Experimental we welcome the abstract, the riveting, the beautiful, the rugged, the emotional, the bold, the raw. We welcome films that tear through tradition and break boundaries with finesse. Most of all, we welcome your idea of experimental.

We celebrate risk-taking, daringness and originality! Submit if you create films with such attitude and spirit.

Be wrong, be raw and let's celebrate in style!
