Hosted by Three Pence Short Productions, the festival features narrative, animated, documentary, and experimental shorts — all 30 minutes and under. With a bold curatorial edge and a commitment to accessibility, The Cut aims to become a vital platform for emerging filmmakers.

We’re committed to developing Birmingham as a global destination for fresh cinematic storytelling.

All screenings will take place at a unique, central Birmingham venue, with select sessions streamed online to reach a wider audience.

Join us for two days of screenings, filmmaker Q&As, industry panels, and community celebration.
