The variety of films is amazing. Bringing international classics in the mix with current films means something for everyone.
Brilliant programme of films that I wouldn’t have either discovered or had the chance to see if it wasn’t for FilmChelt.
And that’s a wrap on FilmChelt 2026 10-day film festival!
What an incredible 10 days it has been. From thought-provoking thematic strands and deep dives into AI to light-hearted family entertainment and unforgettable cult classics, thank you for making this year’s festival our most vibrant yet.
A special thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers. Our audiences, filmmakers, and local sponsors truly bring the cultural buzz to Cheltenham. Thank you for filling the seats, joining the discussions, and supporting independent cinema.
But it’s not over yet… On 12 November, FilmChelt Academy will celebrate the creativity, talent and hard work of A Level Film Studies and Media Studies students as they showcase their films to a public audience for the very first time. We’re proud to champion emerging talent and support the next generation of filmmakers.
