Fisheye is an independently run film festival based in High Wycombe, a town halfway between London and Oxford in the UK.

Fisheye delights in showcasing the latest creative exploits of local, UK and international filmmakers, their films ranging from 30 seconds to feature length, and spanning a variety of genres. Our outlook has always been both UK and international, but for 2026 festival, Fisheye is adding ‘International’ to its title.

The festival, held annually in April, is not exclusive to industry or film creatives and welcomes everyone. Each year we invite our local audience to “experience the bigger picture” and discover a world of new films as well as encouraging as many filmmakers as possible to experience our festival, taking part in online discussions as well as attending in-person events. Meeting the creators and hearing their stories and aspirations is as important to us as celebrating the films.

The films we select for screening meet a high standard and the best ones are put forward to an independent jury to decide which films are to win the coveted Fisheye International Film Awards each year.
