The London Short Film Festival (LSFF) is the UK's leading short film festival, now in its 22nd year and a BAFTA and BIFA qualifying, internationally-regarded independent festival. Each January, LSFF hosts ten days of short films, live events, Q&As and multidisciplinary curation. The festival presents between 250-500 British and international films each edition, collaboratively programmed down from 6000+ open submissions, alongside Special Events and an Industry programme of workshops, panels and discussion for filmmakers and workers.
LSFF exists to spotlight a multiplicity of filmmakers, visual artists and creatives, across intersections and with a commitment to peripheral voices. The festival is proud of its 22-year ethos of giving screen space and visibility to unconventional and thoroughly independent filmmaking, and seeks to situate the contemporary in dialogue with history and the world at large.
LSFF is a platform where filmmakers can cut their teeth and define their careers, and a celebration of the archival treasures and talent that came before.
