Film the House is parliamentary-based film and scriptwriting competition for student and independent filmmakers based in the UK.
Film the House gives Parliamentarians an opportunity to engage with a grassroots creative demographic and provides the creative community with a vehicle through which to communicate issues to legislators.
The competition is an exciting way of highlighting the value of the creative industries and intellectual property rights, whilst nurturing the next generation of UK filmmakers.
The competition is sponsored by Lord Clement-Jones, Baroness Bonham-Carter, and Sir John Whittingdale.
