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.
The 2024 screenings are in early April as in-person 'live' screenings. See last year's exciting programme at www.londonisfilmfestival.com under the programme tag.

    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!

    Fantastic experience with the London International Student Film Festival, and so grateful for our documentary The Sequel to receive an award for Best British Documentary. A really lovely aspect was the screening at Up-Close Cinema, so close to where the documentary was filmed itself. I strongly encourage students to apply :)
