2025 Festival Sponsor Announced!

We are delighted to welcome Shaw Gibbs as the headline sponsor for Exit 6 Film Festival 2025!

The 10th edition of Exit 6 Film Festival taking place in September this year will be supported by accountant and tax advisory firm Shaw Gibbs.

Tim Smith, Tax Advisory Partner at Shaw Gibbs, had some wonderful words on the decision to support our volunteer film festival in 2025.

'At Shaw Gibbs, we’re committed to investing in the future, whether that means helping businesses flourish, empowering individuals or nurturing creative expression. Supporting the Exit 6 Film Festival is a natural extension of that commitment. It’s a brilliant celebration of independent talent right here in Basingstoke and we’re proud to champion an event that reflects our values of integrity, innovation and community spirit. We’re excited to see the energy and imagination this year’s festival will bring.’

Mark Brennan, Festival Director at Exit 6, spoke for everyone at the festival when this generous support was offered.

"For a decade, the Exit 6 Film Festival has primarily thrived due to the dedication and enthusiasm of our core volunteer team. Coupled with ongoing support from Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council, this sponsorship allows us to expand the festival in ways that were previously unattainable.

On behalf of the entire team, I want to express our gratitude to Shaw Gibbs for supporting our festival, as well as all the filmmakers we aim to showcase and help in launching their future careers.
