The London Young Film Festival is one of Europe's leading film festivals for young filmmakers. It is a unique platform for new talent and a celebration of youthful creativity and innovation. The Festival attracts an astonishing array of filmmakers from across the world and offers Londoners an extraordinary chance to glimpse the future of cinema.

The festival aims to provide opportunities for talented young filmmakers from all over the world to learn together and exhibit their work in a stimulating international environment.

In 2009 we’ll show more than 100 films from over a dozen countries. Training is central to the LYFF mission, and a full programme of intensive film instruction accompanies the annual film exhibition.

The Festival also operates as a key section of the London Arts Festival and offers access for local young people to a world-class film event to engage and involve the widest possible range of local young people.
