THE ORIGIN STORY
As fate would have it, we met as students in Liverpool John Moores MA Film course in 2020. Our online classes taught us all we could about building and operating a successful film festival. And successful it was. LJMU's first film festival received critical acclaim from everyone who attended, which was the starting point for the SFF.
First Edition
Upon graduation, we flew the coop and began building the Starling Film Festival to create and grow our own little murmuration in the world of film festivals. With so many people's help and hard work, we brought SFF to the film festival track.
Second Edition
Now with our second edition under our belts, we hope that the next festival and those to come are bigger and better than its predecessor.
​
The Third Edition of the Starling Film Festival will take place from Monday 28th October - Sunday 3rd November 2024, online and in-person.​
