LSFF is an event that occurs annually to showcase the best of the UK's short film making talents. Every year for a couple of weeks the festival takes over London's best independent cinemas to showcase the short film entries.
The LSFF has now occurred for ten years and have a very established reputation for showcasing the best of the UK's fresh film making talent.
In 2003 Kate Taylor and Philip Ilson organised the first Halloween short film festival at the ICA. In 2008 the festival grew into the London Short Film Festival and each year has been revolutionising and growing.
I think that short film festivals like LSFF and others around the country are extremely important in the film making world. There are thousands and thousands of big Hollywood blockbusters being hurled out constantly and while these are all well and good, what happens to the little people?
There are so many film makers that are on a budget, or haven't got the time or connections to even think about making a full length feature film. People like LSFF allow this smaller production companies, maybe of only one or two people to showcase their work on a national scale.
Okay, maybe they don't all get greatly accredited but at least their work has been showcased and appreciated.
I think that smaller, more independent film makers should lead the way in modern media.
