Film Festival helping to grow movie sector on Island

Great response from fans and film-makers say organisers

The Isle of Man Film Festival is helping to grow Island’s movie sector, according to organisers.

They say there was a fantastic response from both film fans on the Island and film-makers from overseas.

This year's event ran from 5th to 9th September, culminating with a gala evening on the Sunday.

Now in its seventh year, organiser, Dave Armstrong, says from the beginning the aim has been to create inspiring events for Manx film fans, showcase the considerable talents of both local and international filmmakers, and promote the many advantages that the Isle of Man offers as a movie location.
