RENDERYARD is an International Film Festival, a Film Social Network and a well established digital platform providing FILM MAKERS, ANIMATORS, MUSIC VIDEO ARTISTS, DOCUMENTARY MAKERS, PRODUCERS and MUSICIANS the chance to distribute, watch and upload independent films from around the world.

Renderyard was founded in London in 2004 by artist filmmaker and painter Mark Reid. In response to a shortage of Independent Film Festivals that showed experimental films, he created the digital platform that supports experimental animation that we see today. The first Renderyard Short Film Festival was held in October 2004 at The Escape Bar & Gallery in Herne Hill London.

The Festival Screens once a year and shows the BEST of International Independent Film, Animation, Documentary, Music Videos and Experimental content and is followed by a global audience.
