Welcome to the new London Children's
Film Festival, a city-wide cinema feast for London's
children, families and young people which arrives at a
cinema near you for twelve days from Wednesday 9 November.
Bursting with previews and premieres of new UK releases together
with feature films,
documentaries and animations old and new from around the world,
the LCFF is your annual London showcase for the
best of world cinema for young audiences.
Discover the work of filmmakers from Mexico, India, South Africa,
Japan, Iran, Sweden, Ireland, Korea and more, in stories of the
lives, loves and adventures of children and young people in different
cultures. Without the LCFF you'd never see most of these films -
they won't appear in cinemas, on TV or on DVD.
Dance in your seat to Mad Hot Ballroom,
fly far away with Lepel,
investigate the science of first love in The
Colour of Milk, make a friend of a cheeky ghost in
Pak Pak Pakaak and run
to the rescue with Gerda in The
Snow Queen.
Never has there been a film festival for children in London on this
scale before with so many opportunities to
join in. It's a whole new world of watching
films for you to choose from - dive in and enjoy!
