More info will be coming about NFF 2027 soon but in the meantime we’re still running events, from networking to animation sessions and workshops – visit our events and bookings site here
We believe everyone should be inspired by the place in which they live. We say Northampton is a place of Rebels and Revolutionaries, Misfits and Mavericks, Creatives and Changemakers. Intrigued? Then we’d love to hear from you!
Young Programmers
We have a group of 40 young people (including 20 disabled young people) who have worked with us to programme the festival as well as activities at our arts centre The Creative Place.
This scheme has been made possible with the support of Northamptonshire Community Foundation, Film Hub Midlands and Northampton Town Council.
Please make sure you are on our mailing list if you’d like to be considered for the 2027 festival – sign up here.
Volunteering
As we’re in the throws of the 2026 festival we aren’t recruiting any new volunteers right now, but make sure you are on our mailing list here if you’d like to join us after March. And come to some of our events, introduce yourself and see what it’s all bout!
Generally we are looking for people who have an interest in what we do to volunteer at The Creative Place or the film festival – this can be done remotely or at The Creative Place. You can do a regular session at The Creative Place or something more ad hoc when you have availability. Any age, any skill level, we’d encourage you to get in touch if you share the same interests as us! If you have a specialism, great, but we also look for people who just have the right kind of passion and commitment.
Our world’s smallest arts centre
Make sure you check out our new arts space The Creative Place here. Get on the mailing list to hear about our wider creative industry initiatives.

The Operator short film
As part of NFF 2021 we produced a short film from Writer/Director Matt Riley (more usually found as a DP) and starring Graham Dickson (Witchfinder, After Life) and Amy De Bhrun (Line of Duty, Vikings). You can watch the trailer here and it’s now being entered into huge festivals around the world! It premiered in South Korea and just won Best Actor for Graham at the Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival. It has also been accepted into more festivals – news coming soon.
We know a lot of local people missed out on film set experience in 2020/2021 due to the pandemic so we thought we’d bring you the next best thing – virtual set experience! We live streamed the prelight and filming of The Operator and shared the Pre-Production process with you (like our latest livestream production meeting!) and through Q&As, interviews and all that good stuff. Check out www.youtube.com/ScreenNorthants for livestream recordings.
