Every winner from the 2025 Stafford Film Festival
The 2025 edition was the first time the Stafford Film Festival happened in a room rather than on a results page. On Friday 31 January 2025 the festival screened at the Stafford Gatehouse Theatre, with an audience, filmmaker Q&As and a live awards ceremony.
The full list of winners and nominations is now published in the archive.
Some of what the jury honoured
- Best Feature Film: Flight Animal, Mikael Palm
- Best Short Film: Twenty, Jason Hogan
- Best Feature Documentary: She Walks A Line, Timothy Stuart Lovell
- Best TV Pilot / Web Series: Gangs of Kazan, Zhora Kryzhovnikov
- Staffordshire Filmmaker: 7 Times 7 Times 7, Anderson West
Three categories produced joint winners, which happens when the panel cannot separate two pieces of work and we would rather say so than pick arbitrarily.
Every category, every winner and every nomination is on the 2025 winners page, alongside the archives for 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Thank you
To everyone who submitted, travelled, sat in the dark with strangers and stayed to talk afterwards: that is the festival. We are glad you came.
