WOFFF24 Full Programme

We’re pleased to reveal the full WOFFF24 Online programme, 55 films from all over the world. You can see all of these films during WOFFF24 Online, from 7 September to 7 October.

For our online programme, we arrange the films into themed blocks, with several films in each block all of which have some similarities or things in common.

Block one: Nature or Nurture
