Amelia Read • 20th Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival • 2025

As the Autumn sets in, we’re rewinding back to Spring 2025 with a selection of films from the 20th Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival, available to watch online from 17 – 26 October 2025.

Alongside a selection of films from the programme, you can immerse yourself in the full Festival atmosphere with filmmaker Q&A recordings available after the films and a video postcard from Sam Kenyon capturing the spirit of Berwick in 2025.

To celebrate 20 years of BFMAF, we’re offering a special throwback price of only £4.64 for an Online Pass – roughly the cost of cinema ticket in 2005, the year of our first edition.

Please note: BFMAF 2025: Festival Replay is geo-blocked to the UK
