The East End Film Festival was one of the UK's largest film festivals. It ceased all operations on 4 March 2020. The owner, Alison Poltock, explained that "the push to provide a more mainstream commercial offering is not for us." Founded in 2001 and operating in various venues across East London, the festival focussed on emerging British, Eastern European and Asian talent. The East End Film Festival started in 2000. Originally set up by the East London borough of Tower Hamlets as a platform to recognise local filmmakers. Its initial success led to a partnership in 2003 with neighbouring London Borough of Hackney, London Borough of Newham, the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, and the Raindance Film Festival which ran Raindance East as part of its official selection. As a result of this partnership, the festival was rebranded as Raindance East from 2003 to 2005, but returned to its original East End Film Festival state in 2006. More information...
