After successfully hosting film festivals at BAFTA HQ in 2018, Channel 4 HQ in 2019 and the David Games College in 2022.

We at Lionstooth Films are BACK! With another annual film festival this year!
Our aim for this year's Film festival is to provide a launching platform for Filmmakers to showcase the results of their incredible artistry in making short films.

Collaboration opportunities for creatives and industry professionals to meet and connect.

And post-festival support and resources to help filmmakers continue building their networks and advancing their careers

Early bird Submissions are now open for filmmakers to submit their short films through the link below.

Important note: All Filmmakers are not required to submit their film into more than one of the categories, unless you choose to do so.

We look forward to welcoming both old and new faces at our Film Festival
