Founded in 2003, the London Short Festival (LSFF) is a an independent short film festival. In January the LSFF presents some 250 to 500 UK and international shorts, as well as holding special events, workshops and panel discussions with film makers.
The LSFF aims to showcase the divergency of those making films and shorts, giving space for those who adopt an unconventional or thought-provoking approach to film making. This is a platform where debut directors can expose their work to a wider audience, or the general public can experience the wealth of UK and international short film making.
