Welcome to
The South London Film Festival
The South London Film Festival was created because we are passionate about providing an opportunity for filmmakers worldwide to showcase their creativity with the multicultural community of South London.
We believe that every film we watch shapes the future of the industry and the world around it. Because of this, we work with partners to offer unique rewards and prizes that will support the careers of our filmmakers.
It has been a difficult time with so many changes to life, which has impacted the lives, businesses and hearts of many. Even during the hard times, we relied on creativity to get us through, inspire us and encourage others more than ever. This year, we have chosen to continue with our new CLIMATE CHANGE INSPIRED festival category and also include a BRAND NEW category themed around ‘ADS + COMMERCIALS’. We will be working with charities and local communities to use the winning film to raise awareness and educate others on this very important subject.
The South London Film Festival is also dedicated to supporting students, so we offer a “free to submit” category for students and schools/educational facilities.

We look forward to watching your films.
