  • The UKAFF Roundtable | S1 (Audio)
    Apr 30 2026

    Not every story gets the screen it deserves. In a time where bringing audiences into theatres has become increasingly difficult due to OTT platforms, many powerful films and dedicated filmmakers are left without the recognition they truly deserve. In this episode, we explore the reality of cinema today, the struggle to get people to experience films in theatres and the passion and dedication of filmmakers who continue to create meaningful, bold narratives despite limited distribution and promotion. Through platforms like the UK Asian Film Festival, these stories are finally given the space they deserve. From culturally rich storytelling to thought-provoking themes, these films go beyond entertainment — they create impact. It’s not just about watching a film. It’s about valuing the work behind it. Because sometimes, the most important stories… are the ones we almost miss.

    Don't forget to attend the UKAFF from May 1 -10
