The festival takes place during March and April at the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull and is screening around 13 films from international and national filmmakers including Paris Mon Armour by French filmmaker Jean Phillippe Farber, who is currently based in Hull, as well as David Heilbroner and Kate Davis' award winning ‘Pucker Up’ and Perry Ogdan's ‘Pavee Lackeen’ in March.

In April, there will be screenings of Faith Akin's ‘Crossing The Bridge’, ‘Schadenfrede’ (A Touring Project of The Artists Cinema and Lux curated by Tirdad Zolghadr), Mikhail Kalatozov's ‘Soy Cuba (I Am Cuba)’ and Hubert Sauper's Oscar nominated ‘Darwin's Nightmare’. “It’s the first time that a documentary festival has been screened here… and It’s something that we're looking to develop in the future.” said Mark Ogden, the Hull Screen manager. As part of the festival, Yorkshire Film Archive will be taking a trip down memory lane in a special screening to celebrate the films that were shot in Hull and the East Riding over a hundred years ago, reflecting the life and times of that era.

To keep the Hull Screen name alive, the festival coincides with the Screen’s move from its old site at the Hull Central Library on Albion Street to its new home at the University of Lincoln on George Street, which has been delayed opening due to preparation work. The current projection box at the University is being altered to make way for a bigger digital projector costing £75,000. “The re-opening of Hull Screen at its new site with a brand new digital projector is still on course for the first week in May but we thought it was imperative to keep the name of Hull Screen alive so we've organised to use the Live Arts Space at the Ferens Art Gallery to conduct these screenings.” said the Hull New Theatre manager, Michael Lister, who is overseeing the move. “We will be able to show films on various formats, we will use it for community work and educational purposes. We're linking, not only with the University of Lincoln, but also with Hull College and Hull University so it’s a very exciting time for the Screen."
