Vampires to thrash metal, sci-fi comedies to heartbreaking drama - Northampton Film Festival 2025 has it all
From vampires to trash metal, sci-fi comedies to heartbreaking drama, this year's Northampton Film Festival (NFF) is promising non-stop fun and excitement with family and friends - and has issued an invitation for everyone to join them.
With its red carpet Opening Gala and closing Awards ceremonies at Delapré Abbey and Northampton's Guildhall; a cinematic celebration of women in film for International Women's Day; and a range of Northants and wider British-made films that speak to the festival’s theme of Rebels and Revolutionaries, Misfits and Mavericks, Creatives and Changemakers - there is something for everyone as the 4th edition of the festival rolls out a bigger programme than ever before.
Showing 80 films across 9 days from Friday 7th - Saturday 15th March, this is what NFF 2025 will look like:
