“Joyously inventive” – Guardian


“Magnificently eclectic” – Time Out


“It has one of those programmes that makes you wish you didn’t have to eat or sleep so you could gorge on its feast of audio-visual tidbits without interruption.”Little White Lies


“It has a welcoming, warm human character that’s hard to put into words.” – audience feedback


“The most inspiring UK film festival I have visited.”
– audience feedback


Also bear in mind that Flatpack runs throughout the year in the form of 7 Inch Cinema, and come say hello on twitter.
