The London Short Film Festival was founded in 2003 by Philip Ilson and Kate Taylor. The festival originally started out as the Halloween Short Film Festival but later in 2008 changed to The London Short Film Festival.
The 2010 LSFF was the 7th edition and took place in January in ten different London venues over a period of ten days. It is a popular event with over 6000 tickets being sold each year. LSFF accept submissions from different styles and genres of short film and some of the awards given out are:
- UK FILM COUNCIL AWARD for Best Film of the Festival
- VAUXHALL AUTEUR THEORY AWARD
- Darryl’s Lo-Budget Film Award
- Sci-Fi London Award for Best Horror Film
Funded by the UK Film Council, LSFF works with some of Britain’s imminent filmmakers to showcase over 200 films at their events. They also run a programme called Transformative Training offering expert advice through one on one sessions for both experienced and new filmmakers.
Submissions for the LSFF in January 2011 are now open
