Festival Information
London
Overview
The London Short Film Festival (LSFF) is a leading independent film festival and a BAFTA and BIFA qualifying event, recognised internationally for its bold programming and support for new talent. Each January, LSFF transforms cinemas and cultural venues across London for ten days of innovative short films, live events and Q&As. From over 5,000 annual submissions, the festival curates 250–500 British and international shorts alongside workshops, panels and industry sessions. LSFF is committed to platforming underrepresented voices and foregrounding both experimental work and restored archival gems. It stands as a vital platform for emerging filmmakers and a celebration of the trailblazers who have shaped independent cinema.
