Brood Film Fest 2016 takes you on a journey through 21st century early parenthood via a specially curated screening of the works of 16 outstanding artists/filmmakers from around the world, created in response to their own very real experiences of pregnancy, birth and new parenthood in this approximately 90 minute curated screening.
Brood Film Fest 2016 is the first ever international short film festival dedicated to the subject of early parenthood. Works were selected by a judging panel including award-winning British film producer and parent rights advocate Nicky Bentham (Neon Films), Exeter Phoenix Digital director Jonas Hawkins and Brood Film Fest’s creative directors Mila Oshin and Kris Jager (Project AfterBirth, DIEP.org.uk).
