Free Film Festivals are a community group that organises free neighbourhood film festivals, to encourage community involvement through film. The first Free Film Festival took place in 2010 in Peckham and Nunhead, South East London, and the idea has spread from there. Our festivals, which are completely run by volunteers, bring people together to enjoy films they might not have seen in places they may not have been. Each festival is run by its own group of volunteers, but with support from other festivals, including shared projection equipment.

The 2017 Peckham and Nunhead Free Film Festival runs from 1-10 September.
