The Newcastle Film Festival has been launched to an international audience at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

The first ever event will take place across four days in March and April 2018.

The international Newcastle Film Festival will be a celebration of global film-making that will recognise established and emerging talent in a carnival-style launch, inspired by the glitz and glamour of the Cannes Film Festival.

We expect hundreds of screenings, awards and events dedicated to the art of film in a broad mix of categories.

We are delighted to reveal that we have already secured the launch of a world premiere, which will be showcased around the world.

We have a growing and elite list of regional and national sponsors and we are open for film submissions from around the world and, of course, home-grown talent from the region and beyond.

– JACQUI MILLER MBE, NEWCASTLE FILM FESTIVAL PRESIDENT
