pictureeast 2025 steering group
creating a community - driven film festival
At the very core of PictureEast Film Festival lies the invaluable contribution of our Steering Group. Comprising of passionate and dedicated individuals who all live, work or play in Newham, this group has been instrumental in shaping the festival every step of the way—from its initial setup to programming, operational execution, and branding.
