We are thrilled to announce that the 2023 edition of the Makers’ Film Festival, MFF23, will screen in Carola’s home village of Humbie in East Lothian, Scotland – approximately 20 miles south-east of Edinburgh – in partnership with Humbie Hub and Humbie Box Office.
Humbie Hub is a village shop, post office and café with studio workspaces and an AirBnB. Community is at its heart. The Hub provides essential services and is a vibrant centre of activity, connecting growers and makers with locals and travellers alike.
The MFF23 programme is jam-packed with 17 short films selected from submissions from Australia, New Zealand, and beyond… films are as diverse in the film-making genres and approaches as they are in the craft practices that they feature.
We look forward to hearing how Scottish audiences respond to the programme, and which film they will Vote to award as the Favourite Film!

In July 2017, Maker & Smith was founded by Mary Ellen Cliff and Carola Akindele-Obe. Their primary objective was to fulfil their strong desire to elevate the professional craft industry in Western Australia. Maker & Smith operates on a volunteer basis and aims for self-sustainability without compromising standards. We rely on partnerships and pay fair fees to skilled artisans and designer-makers who participate in our programs.
Maker & Smith respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work, including the Whadjuk, Pibelman, and Minang peoples of the Noongar nation. We recognise the importance of their culture and the ongoing contribution they make to the life of this region. We also recognise the significance of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for constitutional recognition and the establishment of a First Nations Voice enshrined in the Constitution.
Always was, always will be.
