London Rocks Film Festival

LONDON ROCKS (LRIFF), in the true spirit of the city of London, champions independent cinema that isn't afraid to push boundaries. London Rocks 2021 edition screened 66 films to over 300 attendees, and we expect 2022 to be bigger. LONDON ROCKS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL was established out of a need for a platform for filmmakers to show bold, innovative and authentic films, created within the city of London and internationally. We believe that those making work, regardless of budget and background, should have the opportunity to showcase their films in an inclusive setting with an audience who are looking to participate in something truly new and exciting. Operating outside the confines of mainstream platforms, LONDON ROCKS programmes events in underground spaces in London and aims to showcase a selection of films and year-round special events into the future. We are interested in fictional and documentary films, made by any means necessary, that challenge the boundaries of cinema in form and subject. In an industry where all too often, marginal voices are swept aside in favour of big budgets and polished productions, we celebrate passionate voices that engage with contemporary issues, compelling stories and experimental narratives. ** Finalists will be announced on 9 October 2022 ** ​​** Winners & Runners-Up will be revealed ​at the Festival 4, 5 & 6 November 2021 ** LONDON ROCKS, along with its sister festivals BRIGHTON ROCKS (established 2017), HASTINGS ROCKS and LOS ANGELES ROCKS, are young festivals with big ambition – to rank alongside the UK’s best festivals for indie cinema. If your film embodies our ideals and aspirations, we want to help it get the recognition it deserves.
