We are hugely grateful in particular for the amazing support we receive from The Lancet and from the Institute of Public Health in Ireland, and for the educational and creative partnerships we have developed with global health institutions around the world, including King's Centre for Global Health, the Australian Global Health Alliance and Brunel Medical School.
Our filmmakers
Organisations like Global Health Film live and die on the quality of the films they present every year, and we are indebted to the hugely talented storytellers around the world who choose Global Health Film as a platform for showcasing their work.
It is truly an honour to serve our filmmakers and to work closely with each and every one of you to maximise the opportunities for your projects.

Our discussion panels and moderators
All Global Health Film screenings are followed by an in-depth discussion with the filmmaker, protagonist, and relevant global health experts, with an opportunity for audience questions and feedback.
We are so grateful to all our panel guests and brilliant moderators who so generously give up their time to bring context, hope and avenues for action to each of our events - the value that you add to what we do is immense and very deeply appreciated.
