‘The Ties That Bind Us’ Short Film Festival curated by students at Queen Mary University (London UK) and Christ University (Bangalore India)
Lights, camera…showtime! The Ties That Bind Us team at the first QMUL South Asian Short Film Festival is teaming up with the UK Asian Film Festival for an unforgettable celebration of storytelling at BLOC. This year’s theme, 'Longing and Belonging' brings you a lineup of bold, beautiful, and boundary-breaking short films by emerging filmmakers.
Through a carefully curated selection of short films, we aim to highlight voices that often go unheard and spark meaningful conversations about identity, belonging, and tradition in an evolving world.
We are pleased to be partnering with students from Christ University in Bangalore who are programming half of the films which will be screened at the festival. This collaboration is part of the AHRC India-UK project: Connecting Creative Industries & Cultural Heritage (2024-27).
But that’s not all. Beyond the screenings, the festival offers opportunities to network with fellow creatives, engage in discussions with industry professionals, and celebrate the power of film as a unifying force. Whether you’re a filmmaker, film enthusiast, or simply curious about South Asian cinema, this is an event not to be missed!
Curated by students on the Assistant Producers Scheme in the Queen Mary Centre for Creative Collaboration.🎫 Entry is free, but seats are limited. So grab your tickets now!
