It was great to be invited in to chat with UWL Media and Communications students (and prospective students) about the Ealing Film Festival.

Festival Director Russell England was joined by award-winning director Rebecca Rose, whose film The Removed won Best Narrative Drama at last year’s festival.

Alongside them were Karyna Fedorchuk, a 2nd year student currently working with EFF, contributing to our creative output, and past student and VFX Designer Rushil Vyas.

What a night! We were honoured to present I Was a Teenage S*x Pistol with Glen Matlock in ActOne cinema; two sold-out screenings and a brilliant Q&A hosted by Kathy Valentine.

We’re really excited to welcome The Farm as a sponsor of Ealing Film Festival 2026!

In an industry where so much comes down to access, to the right support, the right people, the right finishing touches, partnerships like this really make a difference.

The overall winner of EFF 2026 will receive a post-production package worth £6,000, giving their film the opportunity to be finished to a professional standard and ready for its next stage.

The Farm are long-time supporters of emerging talent, with a real focus on backing new voices and helping stories reach their full potential - something that sits very closely with what EFF is about.

We can’t wait to see where this takes this year’s winning film.

Submissions are open. Enter in April to receive 20% off entry fees.
