About the festival:
RSFF is being organized and put on by a group of hardworking and passionate students across multiple disciplines at Regent’s University London, who are excited to support and present up-and-coming young filmmakers and creatives from across the globe.

We love and support independent films. Art and great films deserve to be made and shown, despite budget, age, connections, or experience. The Regent’s Short Film Festival invites anyone above the age of sixteen to submit without any additional barriers or restrictions to submissions.
