Completely unsourced and semi-advertorialized article about a film festival, not making any strong claim to passing our notability criteria for events. The only discernible notability claim here is that the event exists (or possibly used to exist but no longer does, because it hasn't been updated since 2015), which is not an instant free notability pass in the absence of third party coverage about it in reliable sources. As I don't have very solid access to decade-old British media coverage, I'd be more than happy to withdraw this if somebody in the UK can find enough solid sourcing to salvage it -- but as written, nothing in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have any sources.

Delete. I have attempted to search newspaper sources for significant coverage. No dice. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 19:06, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
