The East End Film Festival is back for 2014 with another great line-up of independent films. Opening with the disturbing and visually stunning Dermaphoria, it takes in much of the best of new British film and showcases emerging talent. Alongside the films there are workshops where you can improve your own filmmaking skills, Q&As where you can get to meet some of the talent and family events where children are welcome. There will even be some free outdoor screenings so everybody has a change to get involved.

The festival runs from 13 to 25 June.
