Kontekst Film Festival invites all first-time, emerging or early-career artist, maker or researchers to submit works in film, visual art, workshop ideas, and activities that invite criticality. The Film Festival is a grassroots festival of ethnographic and experimental film, art and thought, returning to London in July 2026 with the objective to platform emerging artists, makers, and thinkers, to create spaces for horizontal knowledge exchange and critical conversations.

In its third edition, the festival’s theme is ENTANGLEMENTS, that aims to forefront the worsening climate emergency and the rise of techno-fascism and the extraction, are are looking to screen work that challenges the nature-culture binaries; that shows how humans, animals, plants, technology, and material culture are entangled, shape and impact each other; and that uncovers how exerting control over natural environment is also a way of controlling those who inhabit it.
