Red Carpet Event for Showcase of Best North East Films

For the past year, the Tees Valley International Film Festival has been inviting independent filmmakers from all over the world to submit their short films for inclusion in the festival. From the hundreds of entries we received, the following films have been nominated for our Best North East Film award, also known as the Parmo D’Or.

While we champion undiscovered filmmakers from all over the world, our heart lies in our homeland so we celebrate the North East filmmakers with even greater gusto. Therefore, each of the nominated filmmakers will be interviewed after the screening of their short film and there’ll also be a chance to network with the nominees and some other recognisable faces in our VIP area.

The following films will be shown.

Reflections – Dir. Zak Harney Fran – Dir. Philip Martin Bonny Chip – Dir. Hayley Muraleedharan Bruised – Dir. Lou Burns and Aaron Burns Nails – Dir. Alex Challies The Tale of the Witch – Dir. Catriona Mirabella Burnett The Last Meal – Dir. Krishna Muthuragnu
