London Short Film Festival’s 20th year celebrates new talent and archival treasures in equal measures
At a time when it’s ever-more difficult to maintain progressive arts offerings, London Short Film Festival is bucking the trend. We’ve partnered up to celebrate its 20th edition, taking over our sites across the English capital.
Founded in 2003, the London Short Film Festival has now spent two decades platforming both British and international short film, existing ‘to spotlight a multiplicity of filmmakers, visual artists and creatives, across intersections and with a commitment to peripheral voices’.
For grassroots arts organisations, times haven’t exactly been easy in recent years – what with the combination of cuts to funding, spiralling costs, and lost earnings through the pandemic – but LSFF persists, with its city-wide January 2023 festival bringing together ten days of short films, live events, workshops, panels, Q&As, and multidisciplinary curation.
Ahead of its opening, we brought London Short Film Festival’s expectedly artful posters onto the streets, taking over sites in the north, south, east, and west of the city. Pulling together evocative stills from filmmaker Andrew Kötting’s festival trailer, and Edward Sogunro’s vibrant but soft-edged graphic design, in 4-sheet and takeover form, the campaign brought the essence of the festival directly into London’s landscapes.
