Notes on East End Film Festival
East End Film Festival has been developing its support for film exhibition and filmmaking since its inception in 2001. The Festival began in Tower Hamlets out of a need to recognise the work of local filmmakers and to provide a platform for screenings. This included the films produced by the then Tower Hamlets Film Fund.

The Festival was an immediate sell-out success and as a result it entered into a partnership with the Raindance Film Festival, Hackney and Newham boroughs, and the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, from 2003 to 2005 to create the Raindance East Film Festival, before returning to its original East End Film Festival state in 2006.

The Festival is therefore a culmination of this experience, utilising established skills and input from the local filmmaking community and a unique continuing working partnership comprising of Tower Hamlets, Hackney, and Newham boroughs and the Lee Valley Park Authority to produce the biggest and best film festival that East London has ever seen.
