Cine International Film Festival (CIFF) | 7-10 May 2025 | London

Launched in collaboration between DREAMTOWN Entertainment, Karma Sanctum Soho, and Goldfinch—the Academy Award and BAFTA-winning production company—CIFF will showcase the best of cinema from around the world through carefully curated international partnerships and programs. Audiences can expect a stellar lineup of innovative films, from major premieres to features by emerging filmmakers, along with thought-provoking documentaries and captivating shorts.

At the heart of CIFF is a mission to give back to the film community. The festival proudly introduces the Goldfinch Academy Bursary, a charitable initiative designed to assist some of the most deserving new voices in filmmaking, providing them with the tools and resources needed to bring their creative visions to life. Additionally, CIFF has a focus on music, score and soundtrack and is honoured to be supporting Teenage Cancer Trust and will make a donation to this vital cause, underscoring its commitment to making a meaningful impact.
