Flatpack 2020

The home entertainment edition.

WELCOME TO FLATPACK 2020

Welcome to the site of our first online festival, which took place 1-17 May, at your place, via this very website.

If you missed it, or simply want a stroll down memory lane, you can still read all the interviews and access other special bonus features (including all of our Colour Box Crafting workshops, led by Emily and Nugget the rabbit) in the news section below.

You can also check out which films took home each of the Short Film Awards at our very fancy virtual awards do.
