Our History

Before becoming Midnight Frames our festival was under a different name. During these early years we built our foundation supporting independent filmmakers, hosting exciting screening and developing a creative community.
2016 – Present
In 2016, we rebranded as Midnight Frames to better reflect our identity and vision. The new name marked a new chapter embracing bold storytelling, cinematic atmosphere and films that thrive beyond the mainstream. Since then Midnight Frames has continued to grow as a platform dedicated to celebrating powerful visionary cinema.
