Brighton International Animation Festival is the first of it's kind! Set on the sunny coast of Brighton, England it is a 2 day annual not-for-profit festival run by animators for everyone.

​

The vision of the festival is that it embraces international partnerships and encompasses a global perspective, in addition to providing an accessible place for people to learn about the medium.

​

The 2022 edition saw guest festival StopTrik International Film Festival the Slovenian/Polish specialist stop motion festival present a specially curated programme. The BIAF programme Queer Contemporaries will be presented at the 2022 edition of Anibar Animation Festival in Kosovo.

​

In addition to film screenings of both specially curated and in competition programmes, the festival offers hands on animation workshops and talks from industry speakers. This allows both animators and non-animators alike to come and learn about the medium in both an artistic and commercial context.

​

All of the films are subtitled for deaf/hard of hearing inclusivity.

​

The festival is unique in that as well as hosting an annual live event in Brighton, it offers selected filmmakers the opportunity to screen on community, not-for-profit local TV channel Latest TV in Brighton (optional to opt out). The channel serves over 350,000 households, so gives the film an even bigger audience and also a broadcast credit. The Latest TV venue in Kemptown is home to the live festival.

​

Follow @brightonanimation on Instagram to see previous editions and for future updates.

See the trailer below for a taster of what the festival entails (turn sound on in the bottom corner of the screen!)

The 21st London Short Film Festival will be held in January 2024.

LSFF exists to spotlight a multiplicity of filmmakers, visual artists and creatives, across intersections and with a commitment to peripheral voices.

Each January, the festival hosts ten days of short form, conversation and multidisciplinary curation. We present up to 500 British and international films, collaboratively selected from 5000+ open submissions, alongside Special Events and an industry programme of workshops, panels and discussion for filmmakers and cinema workers.

Each edition, we award cash prizes to the UK and international short films screening in our annual competition. We are a BAFTA-affiliated festival, enabling accepted UK filmmakers to apply for the 2024 BAFTAs.

Each year the festival appoints an international jury who deliberate on the following categories and award prizes.

Our LSFF jury in recent years has comprised of filmmakers such as Ngozi Onwurah (Welcome II the Terrordome), Lucille Hadžihalilović (Innocence), Nick Rowland (Calm With Horses) and Maryam Tafakory (Irani Bag), film industry professionals such as actors Stacy Martin (Nymphomania, Vox Lux) and Jessica Barden (The Lobster, The End of the Fucking World), programmer Abiba Coulibaly (Brixton Community Cinema) and talent executive Aaliah Simpson (Film London, BFI Network) and festival programmers from Hamburg Short Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, Dokufest Kosovo, imagineNATIVE Film & Media Arts Festival, Open City Docs, and Short Waves Poland.

BEST UK SHORT FILM

The Best UK Short Film Award spotlights the multiplicity and diversity of British creators and creativity producing impactful, challenging work.

The Best UK Short Film Award winner will receive a £1000 cash prize courtesy of the British Council.

A Special Mention runner-up will be awarded £500 towards their next project.

BEST INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM

The Best International Short Film Award champions filmmaking from across the globe interpreting cultural, political and social concerns in bold and exploratory ways.

The Best International Short Film award winner will receive a £1000 grant towards their next project.

A Special Mention runner-up will be awarded £500 towards their next project.

BEST LO-BUDGET SHORT FILM

LSFF has always championed a little DIY rebelliousness in short filmmaking, while being aware there's a method to that madness.

Our Lo-Budget Mayhem programme has been the festival's traditional celebration of such filmmaking, and this award recognises work that is imaginative, resourceful and tells stories with limited-to-no resources and a good dose of wit.

All qualifying films can be found in our Lo-Budget Mayhem programme and this award is deliberated on by a separate youth jury.

The Best Lo-Budget Short winner will receive an award of £500.

Submissions are open to short form of every genre - including fiction, comedy, horror, sci-fi, documentary, animation, music videos and more. We welcome artists' moving image and video works.

Films must be no longer than 45 minutes in length.

Fantastic festival. Great venues, big crowds, quality programming. Great to be a part of it - thanks LSFF!

LSFF is one of the best festivals for emerging talents. Its team is highly supportive, kind, and intelligent - just brilliant. My experience there was huge!

So I 100% recommend trying to become a part of this young but already powerful cinema celebration.

Srishti Chhabria

London Short Film Festival is a really good one to be a part of! It made January so much better, especially if you're like me who doesn't enjoy going out in winter!

The festival is very well curated in such an intelligent way - making every screening experience so enjoyable. My film 'One More Minute' was selected and screened at this year's festival and I was given a really warm welcome - the whole team are stellar and I hope to come back again next year!
