The Festival’s main hub will as ever, be situated at The Hen & Chickens Theatre, an independent theatre and cinema in Islington, North London. The pub below, will serve as the networking and meeting place for filmmakers and fans alike. Films will be screened there all day and each evening for the duration of the festival, alongside workshops and other events held through the event each day.
Last year saw the festival expand beyond The Hen & Chickens with great success. Building on this, the opening night film for UVFF 2019 will again be shown at The Screen on the Green as well as the new addition of screenings held in Islington’s Vue Cinema, further helping the festival itself as a notable cultural event across Islington.
Tickets for all shows will in due course be available from www.unrestrictedview.co.uk or on the door.
