March, 2020, lockdown across much of Europe. What to do?
Go online, of course! Connect with other storytellers.
After many stories exchanged, and many conversations later: Storyflix was born.
For when humanity is put through a great test, where do we turn for comfort?
We turn to music, to poetry, above all to stories.
For in so many of the great folk tales, there are great challenges which are overcome.

Storyflix is an international and multi-language platform.
We are extremely grateful to all contributing storytellers.
Without their committed support, such an extensive and multi-lingual project would be quite impossible.
Our thanks!
Storyflix – our future
Storyflix grew as a response to the 2020 – 2021 Covid pandemic lockdowns. Unable to perform to live audiences, storytellers met online to explore new media options. Out of this, Storyflix evolved as an exciting international platform.
As we moved into 2022 and storytelling moved back towards live performing, Storyflix has been paused while we consider future developments.
If you would like to be part of the Storyflix future, we’d love to hear from you.
Our Storyflix website
It is true we have worked long and hard on this project.
But without a professional website it would never have come about. And that was simply way beyond our technical abilities.
So our heartfelt thanks to Suzanne Whitby for her generous support.
