FIGHT BACK FILM AWARDS
Have you been released from the armed Forces?
Are you looking for new avenues to explore your acquired skills?
Or maybe you have a story you want to tell?
If this sounds like you, why not join us at the Fight Back Film Awards? We can help you find a new focus through filmmaking and all its disciplines.
The Fight Back Film Awards celebrate the works of people like you, who have come back from the military, from people who’ve had difficulties adjusting to civilian life, from people, who find the traumatic experiences while serving in the military, too hard to deal with alone.
We screen films made by, written by or with former service men and women involved in the cast and crew. Juries, picked from highly regarded professionals from the film industry and sometimes ex-Forces themselves, who have succesfully achieved a new career in film and media, award the best works at a prestigious ceremony in Ramsgate in March 2026.
The international competition includes short films and features, and also a category for scripts. In addition, each script submitted receives a personalised constructive review.
The Fight Back Film Awards take place alongside the Ramsgate International Film & TV Festival in order to facilitate connections with all sorts of people already working in the film industry.
The event includes industry-focused activities like Q&A sessions with filmmakers, talks, panel discussions and workshops to offer professional development and provide networking opportunities, where you can also meet your peers and exchange experiences.
We run courses, where you can learn the craft of script-writing and filmmaking, in partnership with reputable organizations such as Euroscript.
