Lo-Budget Mayhem

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.

UCL East Community Cinema

One of LSFF’s most popular annual programmes returns with a cracking collection of oddities, hand-crafted from the confines of our empty wallets and our mortal bodies. These filmmakers pull off everything from suspense dramas delving into the limits of friendship to road movies chronicling the mishaps of modern love. Here, a second-hand iPhone becomes a window into a stranger's unraveling, puppets juggle notions of language and meaning, a driver's fatal choice spirals into an ocean of regret, an ex-bus driver stages a chaotic heavenly jailbreak through purgatory, and on a mini golf course, someone learns that winning really isn't everything.
