VOTING is underway to decide the audience's winner of this year's Walthamstow International Film Festival.
Part of the E17 Art Trail, it features more than 145 short films across five venues, and has already reported a large turnout since it opened at the weekend.
A panel of judges has already picked its favourites, but visitors are being urged to vote for their highlights.
Organiser Liza Flecther said: "It's been really great this year, we've had so many people coming through the doors.
"Some visitors may feel disinclined about voting for their favourite when they've only seen a handful of the films, but we want to reiterate that we don't expect people to watch all 145 of them.
"It means a lot to those taking part and it's a way of showing appreciation for their hard work.”
The audience vote winner will be announced on Sunday (September 11) at a ceremony at the Vestry House Museum at 5pm.
Voting forms are available at festival venues and will also be printed in this Thursday's (September 8) Waltham Forest Guardian and Chingford Guardian. You can hand in completed forms to any of the festival venues. Visit www.e17films.com for more.
