our approach
Fisheye is a celebration of filmmaking in all forms and invites new and different views and voices.
The festival is mainly focused on screening high quality shorts and feature films from our international competition in south Buckinghamshire, centred around High Wycombe.
We encourage as many filmmakers as possible to experience our festival, taking part in online discussions as well as in person events. Meeting the creators, and hearing their stories and aspirations is as important to us as celebrating the films.
In April 2024, we held 15 live events over ten days, including a launch party, shorts and feature film screenings, Q&A sessions and a filmmaker’s forum. The festival culminated in a gala Finale when the Awards were announced, and all films and filmmakers were celebrated.
Partnering with eoFlix, we also showed films online, enabling access to most of the films for people who were not able to join the screenings in High Wycombe.
