Renowned for daring cross-arts programming, LSFF showcase the very best of the country’s raw talent. Now in its twelfth year, the BAFTA-affiliated festival will take place over nine days in January (9 - 18) and based across twenty five major London venues, combining a plethora of independent shorts, live music events, training, parties, art and fashion.

LSFF accepts all genres; from music videos to films made on a shoe string budget and is one of the few festivals in the UK to showcase films up to 45 minutes in length. The only rules are that you must be a UK based filmmaker to enter the festival and your film must be made after August 2013. Also, lo-budget films must cost less than £500 to produce and be under 5 minutes long. Otherwise, it's up to you!

This year the LSFF are using a new submissions platform called 'Flock', built by LSFF's close partners 'Shooting People'. You can enter your films, track how your submissions are doing and communicate with the festival team through here. So come on guys, get flocking!
