Brighton Absurd Film Festival

At the Brighton Absurd Film Festival, we are dedicated exclusively to films that embody the spirit of the absurd. Unlike general film festivals, our programme is reserved for works that thrive on illogical situations, existential tension, surreal imagery, and darkly comic undertones. We don’t screen across genres — we focus solely on films that challenge convention and embrace absurdism as their core. Whether through existential dramedy, avant-garde experimentation, or surreal dark comedy, every selection reflects our mission: to showcase cinema that unsettles, entertains, and celebrates the beauty of the irrational.
