The 22nd edition of the festival takes place from Fri 17 – Sun 26 Jan across London’s most iconic screens and venues, alongside arts and community spaces and a community-hopping mobile cinema bus.
This year’s festival includes an eclectic line-up of 30+ programmes showing over 200 new short films from the UK and across the world, plus 30 more cutting-edge Special Events, a full Industry offer, and more.
This year’s theme, Spaces, will explore the creative, social, and political landscapes of the spaces we inhabit and the cost of their loss – from cinemas and social hubs to social and political third spaces, those vital gathering places that define our collective experience and foster community.
