What filmmakers say
This is my second year at Vaporetto and I can’t recommend this festival enough. Not only a space to share your work, but also to meet fellow filmmakers, potential collaborators, and genuine friends.

A great little festival well worth the entry fee. A really interesting selection of films made for a fun night out. Inspiring to see a festival run by fellow makers in a top cinema in central London.

Such a great film festival!
Made by filmmakers for filmmakers! Was an honour to present my film, Blueprint, and take home awards as well. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Such a fabulous and varied range of films selected & a clear effort from the organisers to platform diverse filmmakers. I can’t wait for next year’s festival!
