Peekaboon International
Film Festival 2026

23 October 2026 · UCL BaseKX, London

PIFF 2026 is the first PACCS Supported Festival, opening with the world premiere of Seekers of Wholeness. A boutique, multi-genre festival with a public-health storytelling lineage from the 4,726-film PHFF corpus.

ABOUT PIFF 2026

A boutique festival with a craft-first programming lineage.

PIFF (Peekaboon International Film Festival) is the flagship event of PAHUS Studios, built on seven years of structured programming work at the International Public Health Film Festival — an Oxford charity transferred to PAHUS Studios in 2025. Its corpus is the empirical backbone PACCS itself learns from.

PIFF 2026 is multi-genre and boutique by design. Its first edition runs alongside the launch of the PACCS Supported Festival programme, and inherits the audit-grade decision trails and transparent triage that PACCS festivals use.
