About

Tickets are now on sale! Check out the full programme of films, or head straight to the Showroom website to grab a seat at your favourite screenings. Our most popular screenings do sell out well ahead of time, so if you spot something you like then don't hang about.

Check out the 2026 trailer below – a beautifully created montage of this year's films by multi-award-winning filmmaker and festival judge Hannah Maia, of Maia Media. It's pretty epic, if we say so ourselves.

There's more to ShAFF than films, and the full festival programme of talks, events, guided runs and a very special birthday party is coming soon.
