Whats On
Celebrate the world of film shorts in January with the London Short Film Festival. Held over two weeks in venues across the capital, the film festival is a chance to catch some of the edgiest and most imaginative short films around.

London Short Film Festival
Previously known as the Halloween Film Festival, the London Short Film Festival has re-emerged for 2009 with ten days of screenings and multi media mayhem for anyone with a love of film, music, visuals and fun.

Wild and wonderful
With screenings selected from an open submissions process, there really could be anything shown on screen during the festival. From kinky comedy shorts to mini documentaries and art house creativity, there is plenty to get excited about.

Live entertainment
Many live music and themed film and visual nights are set to take place during the London Short Film Festival too. Enjoy the likes of The Beat Happening Sessions at Roxy Bar and Screen, an evening of film and live music featuring the premiere of Tornado of Fame, a documentary following the fortunes of cabaret hip hop performer The Midnight Expresso.

Awards Night
The awards night for the LSFF is held at Roxy Bar and Screen on Sunday 18th January. The awards ceremony is follow by Kino London, where short films made during the festival will be screened for the first time. Fresh from the film makers' laptops and digital devices, contemporary film doesn't get more up to date than these shorts.

Be inspired
For the aspiring filmmakers themselves there are a number of interviews to give a behind the scenes look at the world of short films. BAFTA is hosting a retrospective of films featuring Kris Marshall and conducting an on-stage interview with the actor. With so much advice and guidance on hand, many who attend the London Short Film Festival this year could have their work up on the big screen by 2010.

More films, discussion, photography, comedy, screenings and even fancy dress are sure to be part of the mix for the 2009 London Short Film Festival. For full listings of all the events and information on how to book, visit the official website below.
