LSFF: London Lives

Each January, LSFF hosts ten days of short form, conversation and multidisciplinary curation. We present between 250-500 British and international films each edition, collaboratively programmed down from 5000+ open submissions, alongside Special Events and an industry offering of workshops, panels and discussion for filmmakers and workers.

London Short Film Festival

A city symphony of reinvention, exploring how we move through the city, and how the city moves through us.

Metroland Studios

Across its streets, buses, basements, and bars, London holds countless acts of self-invention. From a viral myth about a ‘Jewish bus route’ to the radiant memory of a trans dancer reclaiming her story, each film engages with London as a site of friction and becoming.Some films flow through the city like a cyclist mapping its contours; others linger in forgotten corners like the ghosts of community spaces lost to development. Together, they ask; who gets to belong, to move, to make meaning here?Featuring new work from Teva Cheema [Highgate 214] and Rhea Storr [New Territories (Spectacle is King)] You Can Call Me Lou, dir.
