Programme Announcement: Clean Break Online Film Festival 2024

Presenting our line-up of short films, hosted on our Knowledge Hub

We are thrilled to announce the exciting line-up of films we will be presenting at our first online short film festival. Hosted on our Knowledge Hub, developed with the support of Bloomberg Philanthropies Digital Accelerator Programme, the festival will run from 23 September to 6 October.

We are proud to showcase a gripping range of films which navigate stories of:

  • Criminalisation and the criminal justice system
  • Healing through art and creativity
  • Racial and social justice  
  • Feminism, gender and women’s rights
  • Homelessness and housing
  • Addiction and recovery

Anna Herrmann, Artistic Director of Clean Break: “We chose these films believing that they offer an eclectic range of voices, perspectives and styles, wanting the experience to be broad and dynamic as a collection... I am so proud of this programme and all the terrific filmmakers we are championing. We trust that you will find something that moves you, challenges you and inspires you.”
