The story

13th Parish: Jersey International Film Festival in St Helier

An independent film festival at the Jersey Arts Centre in St Helier, named for the idea of a symbolic thirteenth parish beyond Jersey's actual twelve. It screens shorts, documentaries and features from Channel Island and international filmmakers, awarding prizes for best international short and best Jersey or Channel Islands film.

Jersey is formally divided into twelve parishes, and the name of its independent film festival plays on that number: 13th Parish positions itself as a symbolic thirteenth parish, a gathering point for filmmakers and film lovers who exist outside the island's traditional geography.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival brings Hamburg's 'A Wall is a Screen' project to St Helier, projecting films directly onto buildings and other surfaces around the town's streets after dark, turning ordinary public space into a temporary open-air cinema for one night of the programme

02

The mystery stays covered

It also hosts a Kino filmmaking workshop run in partnership with Off-courts Trouville in Normandy, giving entrants a hands-on, rapid production element that runs alongside the standard curated screening programme rather than replacing it
