The Deep Fried Film Festival is using this years screening events to raise money for various charities. Each charity involved will be having collections at the screening nights. The idea is you donate as much as you think a night of cracking films that can't be seen anywhere else is worth. Details of which charities will be at which nights is available on the festival schedule.
Deep Fried Film is more than just a festival. We hope to provide a catalyst for independent film and as such are involved in several educational programmes and campaigns. The 5th annual festival is scheduled to run from the 26th of July till the 7th of August 2010.
