The London International Student Film Festival screenings in London will provide exposure and publicity for new filmmakers.
There will also be professional networking and learning opportunities.
The winners will be announced during the festival.

The festival was started in 2016 and first screened at London Southbank University. It broadened its scope to international student films in 2019.
The screenings are in early April as in-person 'live' screenings. See last year's exciting programme at www.londonisfilmfestival.com under the programme tag.

Categories are Best Short Film, Best Documentary, Best Animation and Best Music Video.
Best Script (as a script and not part of a produced film.) The script competition winners will have their script offered to professional and student filmmakers for production should they not choose to make the film themselves.

All films must be no more than 20 minutes and the director must have been a full time student at the time of shooting.

    It was such an honour to have been invited for my film selection Faster Than Fear. I had an incredible night, and it was lovely meeting other creatives with a breadth of different film works!

    Having my short film, BRUNO, showcased at the festival was such an honor! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend, but a friend of mine represented our crew. I'm eagerly looking forward to submitting for the next one and hopefully being there in person to experience it all!

    My favourite festival! Great venue and organisation, really interesting selection of films and a very nice audience too! I'd totally recommend all students to attend and submit films!
