Submissions are now open for the 24th edition of the festival, taking place in January 2027.
The dust may be settling on this year’s incredible festival, but filmmakers — it’s time to look ahead. Submissions are officially open for the 2027 edition of the London Short Film Festival.
You can now submit your work via FilmFreeway and be part of what promises to be another unforgettable edition of the London Short Film Festival.
The UK’s leading short film festival exists to spotlight a multiplicity of UK and international filmmakers, visual artists and creatives, and with a commitment to peripheral voices, to bring films to London audiences via the city’s iconic cinemas, and its community and creative spaces.
Each edition, we award cash prizes to the UK and international short films screening in our annual competition. We are a BAFTA and BIFA-affiliated festival, enabling accepted UK filmmakers to apply for the BAFTAs and the BIFAs respectively.
