Raindance is the UK's largest independent film festival, showcasing world shorts and features and specialising in directorial debuts. Distinguishing itself from other festivals with its swaggering rock and roll attitude, it runs riot in London's West End every autumn.
As well as showing independent films from around the world, Raindance hosts a number of special events, including masterclasses and Q&A sessions with industry professionals. Would-be directors and screen writers have the chance to pitch their ideas to movie execs and young film fans are given a chance to seize the means of production. And then, of course, there are plenty of parties.
Since its inception in 1993, Raindance has grown to a showcase of over 90 features and 160 shorts from around 40 countries, with in excess of 10,000 attendees. Past jury members have included Dame Judi Dench, Lou Reed, Anton Corbijn, Andrew Macdonald and Marky Ramone, while patrons of the festival include Ewan McGregor, Terry Gilliam, Mike Figgis, Ken Loach and Nick Broomfield.
