London Short Film Festival starts tonight!

The London Short Film Festival is back! Now in its 6th year the festival is up and ready to unleash an eclectic and diverse array of short films, live music events and parties, all packed into the next 10 days

Tonight's free Opening Night kick-off at the ICA will set the tone for the forthcoming 10 days of film and music, with a special DJ set from PENS, three young ladies currently wowing East Londoners, and a live performance from one-man band MIDNIGHT EXPRESSO. Stick around for our raucous Lo-Budget Late Night Mayhem screening in ICA Cinema 1.

Saturday sees Darryl's Hard Liquor and Porn event returning to the Roxy Bar and Screen for one night only, with a delectable selection of comedy shorts that will make you cringe, wince and cry with laughter, whilst having simultaneous collective orgasms. Guests are heartily encouraged to DRESS UP as their inner porn star.

And we have an awesome selection of screenings over the opening weekend, showcasing the best in UK talent. Funny Shit at the Renoir on Saturday offers the best in comedy shorts, complete with Shooting People Award for sharpest humour, and for the city's romantics, we have the ever-popular F*cked Up Love screening at the Renoir on Sunday. Meanwhile Saturday also has an international flavour with a screening of hot German Shorts courtesy of Dazzle, at the Hospital.
