London International Film Festival ()

Festival start: 01 October 2022      Festival end: 01 October 2023

The London International Film Festival(LIFF), now in its sixth year, is a showcase for the best filmmakers in the world. With a fair and impartial panel of judges, we give every filmmaker around the world the opportunity to showcase their talent. We are an online film festival, art cannot be measured by distance, so even on opposite sides of the world, we can get a chance to communicate. We all love movies and enjoy the comfort of immersing ourselves in art. Sometimes the source of inspiration is social, and the recombination of different ideas is bound to be a surprise.

LIFF is an International Film event and we welcome submissions from a range of genres including short films, documentaries, features, animations and screenplays. LIFF's mission is not only to collect outstanding films from all over the world in different genres, but also to promote these outstanding films and inspire filmmakers to create even better works.

The festival is held online once a year. If your film has been shortlisted, we will contact you one month in advance. The winner will be announced at our festival.
