The full programme for the 2025 New Cross & Deptford Free Film Festival is now online! See our listings below for full details, download the pdf guide, or pick up a printed copy at Deptford Lounge, SE8 and SE14 bars and cafes, or any of our venues.

We’ve got a great line-up for you, from our festival launch event showing The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert to our grand finale of Wicked outdoors in Eckington Gardens, we’re planning to entertain, enthral and delight you for nine fabulous days!

Join us on Friday 25th April at Deptford Lounge to watch the classic camp road trip of Priscilla and friends – don’t forget to come in fancy dress as we’ve lined up a drag ball afterparty at Little Nan’s, where else?! Tickets are free but booking is required.

We’ve got short film nights and family favourites such as Paddington in Peru and A Bug’s Life, and a riotous evening of action movie clips from across the globe. Japanese anime gets an airing at the Piehouse Coop, followed by a DJ set, and our programme also includes two very different documentaries – Free Party, a Folk History follows the birth of the free party movement in the UK, while Five Broken Cameras looks at the non-violent resistance of Palestinians in Bil’il.

Travel across East Africa by motorbike in Boda Babes Ride or lose yourself in the Scottish landscape in Local Hero. And if you are in the mood for satire, look no further than Kubrick’s classic Dr Strangelove, with Peter Sellers in three very different roles and a story that’s chillingly apt for the contemporary world.

All films screenings are free but please donate at screenings if you are able to, either card or cash!

That way we can keep the festival going, and most importantly we can keep it free for all!

We are part of Free Film Festivals, a network of volunteer-powered neighbourhood free film festivals.
