This is an open call for submissions – short films about craft and making – from around the world – for the third edition of the international Makers’ Film Festival.

The Makers’ Film Festival is a short film festival with a focus on craft, makers and making.

We are looking for a diversity of approach in both craft and film-making to illustrate the breadth and wonder of craft practice, skills, makers and materials around the world.
