What is LSFF?
LSFF is a short film festival based in Edinburgh’s vibrant waterfront district. We champion bold films that inspire, challenge and connect. We provide a platform for emerging filmmakers to grow, contend and learn through podcasts, Q&A’s, awards, and film screening events.
We are passionate about showcasing all genres of film, and encourage filmmakers from all backgrounds and experience levels to share their work with us.
LSFF is aimed at emerging filmmakers with a passion for storytelling!
Why LSFF?
With Leith's historic docks and diverse culture, LSFF brings a bright addition to Edinburgh’s art scene and broader filmmaking community.
Our vision as a festival is to connect your films with a community of diverse audiences, industry professionals, and provide a stage for films that stand out.
We are excited to work with community-lead projects, and provide people with the opportunity to resonate with live audiences.
