Our team had the absolute pleasure of running the big screen for the UK Shared Prosperity Fund celebrations - and it will be that very screen which is used in the Marine Hall this March for CineWyre 2027.

Wyre Council have been a fantastic supporter of what the Lancashire Film Network are doing to enrich culture around the region, and CineWyre is a keystone of what we want to build for Fleetwood together.

Submissions for CineWyre 2027 close on November 29th - filmmakers, what are you waiting for?

While Lytham International Film Festival might be over for 2026... LYIFF is actually just a third of the story, as our support for independent film continues through the wider family of events.

Coming up between now and our reunion at Lytham International next year:

- Firestorm Film Festival will run their monthly "Lancashire Firestorm Presents" screenings, ahead of their main event at Preston's state of the art Arc Cinema from February 4th to 7th.

- Fleetwood will get its film fix in March, as CineWyre Film Festival returns for its second year at the Marine Hall with documentaries, family friendly shorts & features, late night horror & thrillers, and new for 2027, curated Science Fiction blocks.

- Plus our Foot in the Door initiatives will continue all year round, as the journey to LYIFF 2027 begins in earnest (with submissions now open for all of these events).

On behalf of everybody involved in Lytham International 2026, from judging, operations, media, our volunteers, venue staff and the many, many members of our behind the scenes team.... THANK YOU LYTHAM, and we'll see you next September!

Supporting local filmmakers is a key aspect of everything we do at CineWyre - so we were delighted to sample Blackpool and the Fylde College's world class media facilities last week.

There is so much untapped potential across the region, and our festival is a perfect way to launch into the industry. We'll have more exciting news to share in due course!
