Big Picture Festival ’23 will take place from 25 to 28 May 2023 in and around Stratford-upon-Avon featuring short films from local filmmakers as well as international and independent feature films!

This year’s theme is ‘One Planet – Many Stories’ so expect adventures to free fairies, a battle for artistic freedom, a family road trip, and rare animals in their wild habitats.
