London Film Week is a film festival taking place during the first week of December in the very heart of London’s West End, at the prestigious Regent Street Cinema & other central venues. The next edition will run from Monday 2 December until Sunday 8 December 2019.

Why London Film Week?
Some of us at LFW have been working for major film festivals over the years and we really wanted to help filmmakers in a different way, to get their films seen by an audience of influencers, to get them signed with the best distributors & producers around and to see them succeed in the film industry. This is your chance to screen in the heart of London! And this is your entry point to the British and European film market.

The Regent Street Cinema is the birthplace of British Cinema — in 1896 it became the very first place in Britain to show moving pictures when the Lumière brothers’ Cinématographe was presented to a paying audience. It is a landmark venue for the British film industry and provides a historic setting for London Film Week in the heart of London’s West End on London’s bustling Regent Street, a skip away from the Oxford Circus tube station. The cinema underwent a three-year refurbishement and reopened in 2015 with state of the art equipment.
