Our mission is to provide a platform for filmmakers from around the world to showcase their creativity and have their work shine on the international stage. We are committed to promoting films that are innovative, thought-provoking, and socially valuable, while also encouraging cultural exchange and collaboration across different communities. Through film screenings and social events, we aim to inspire and support the future of the film industry, helping emerging talent and seasoned professionals learn from and grow with one another.
We are also dedicated to creating an inclusive, open, and educational environment where audiences not only enjoy outstanding films from around the globe but also gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and artistry involved in film production by engaging in the various aspects of filmmaking.
Our vision is to become one of the most influential and innovative film festivals in the world, serving as a deeply impactful international platform for cultural exchange through cinema. We hope that the Wigan International Film Festival will become one of the most respected brands in the film industry, continually offering filmmakers from all backgrounds, countries, and genres an equal opportunity to showcase their work.
We envision a future with a more diverse and open film industry, where creators can express themselves freely, and audiences can gain a deeper understanding of cultures and stories from across the world. Through the Wigan International Film Festival, we hope that every participant will experience the limitless potential of film as an art form and means of expression, working together to advance and innovate film culture.
