After eight unforgettable days of film, conversation, creativity and connection, I Will Tell’s 20th Anniversary Festival comes to a joyful close with an evening of celebration, awards and live performances.

The Closing Gala brings together filmmakers, special guests, audiences and friends of the festival to honour the stories and storytellers who have moved, challenged and inspired us throughout the week. The evening will feature the I Will Tell Awards Ceremony, recognising outstanding films and performances from this year’s programme, alongside a special celebration of 20 years of I Will Tell and the extraordinary journey that has brought us here.

Throughout the evening, music, poetry and dance bring the celebration to life, culminating in a special performance from The Kingdom Choir, before WestWasHere takes us from the awards into the party with his uplifting fusion of Afro house, tech house and faith.

More than an ending, the Closing Gala is a celebration of everything I Will Tell stands for: courageous stories, limitless possibilities and the power of coming together — as we look towards the next 20 years..
