LSFF is a short film festival based in Edinburgh’s vibrant waterfront district. We champion bold films that inspire, challenge and connect. We provide a platform for emerging filmmakers to grow, contend and learn through podcasts, Q&A’s, awards, and film screening events.

We are passionate about showcasing all genres of film, and encourage filmmakers from all backgrounds and experience levels to share their work with us.

With Leith's historic docks and diverse culture, LSFF brings a warm addition to Edinburgh’s art scene, and broader filmmaking community.

Our vision as a festival is to connect your films with a community of diverse audiences, industry professionals, and provide a stage for those who stand out.

LSFF festival is aimed at emerging filmmakers world wide!

We are also excited to work with local, grass route, community lead projects, providing people with the opportunity to get a little taste of where are from!
