BIFA-accredited independent film festival with screenings, industry events, workshops and panels across eight London cinemas.
London Breeze Film Festival runs from 21 to 25 October 2026, spread across eight cinemas in and around London. It's a BIFA-accredited independent festival that champions emerging filmmakers from the UK and around the world, with a particular focus on new, diverse and underrepresented voices. It started in 2016 and has grown into a launchpad for fresh talent: over the last two years, more than 2,000 films have been entered, with over 1,000 live attendees and more than 11,000 online views. It now draws industry guests like Neil Gaiman and Malcolm McDowell.
Alongside the cinema programme, the festival runs five days of industry events, including networking sessions, workshops, Q&As and panels. It also looks after the next generation of filmmakers through children and youth showcases and a 19-25 young adult competition. The festival's long-term aim is to become a BAFTA and Oscar qualifying festival within the next five years.

That's a fair bit of ground to cover, so you'll want to check which films are playing where before you set off. The festival runs from Wednesday 21 to Sunday 25 October.
