Homegrown

A Depot film strand shining a light on British Independent Cinema

Join us at Depot once a month for the latest in British Independent Cinema. We will be handpicking films that show the diversity and skill present across the industry – and inviting the filmmakers and actors themselves to join us and provide first hand personal insight into the process of making a film.

Our specific focus will be on uncovering gems that may find it harder to compete in the distribution landscape – films under the radar, the true independents. We know that 131 British films started shooting during Jan – Sep 2024, with a total production spend of £1.8 billion. There are lot of films being made, but what we see in the cinema is the tip of the iceberg. Together, let’s dive deeper and explore.

Films screening as part of Homegrown will be added to this page as soon as they go on sale.
