Head down to kollectiv on the Old High Street, grab a coffee and a Docker cruffin, and prepare to be amazed by the wealth of local filmmaking talent as we showcase the shortlisted films for this year’s Filmmaking Challenge.
This is a free event but spaces are limited, so we recommend reserving a place at www.betoncollective.org – even if you have a festival pass.
The Filmmaking Challenge gave me the opportunity and excuse to create something for myself. It motivated me to flex my creative muscles and try to push the boundaries of my work beyond what I thought I could achieve!

Folkestone Documentary Festival Filmmaking Challenge returns for a 3rd year to inspire, engage and celebrate local filmmakers and this year we’ve extended the challenge to the whole of Kent! We’ve encouraged all levels of filmmakers to pick up a camera this summer and make a documentary.
Working in partnership with Klip Films and Screen South, we’ve devised the competition to encourage seasoned and budding filmmakers to come up with ideas in the documentary form based on the local environment, stories and communities in Kent.
We are awarding two prizes this year – BEST FILM and BEST ENVIRONMENTAL FILM plus two highly commended runners-up. The two winning films will be screened as part of the festival’s Closing Gala. Winners will be selected by our esteemed jury of filmmakers and industry professionals.
