OffBeat is a film club which celebrates film about British folk and heritage culture. It was set up in 2022 and historically focussed on archive content but, in 2025, set up and run the first ever Folk Film Festival which hosted 11 events in venues across London screening 48 films by contemporary filmmakers over a week in May.
The project is going from strength to srength and explores themes of cultural appropriation and gentrification as well as how we can preserve and promote culture at risk. It hopes to use film to contribute a depoliticised and positive picture of what Britain is today.
