London Children’s Film Festival

The London Children's Film Festival was launched in November 2005 and enjoyed its fourth succesful year in 2008. Each year, over 9/10 days, thousands of children, young people and their families enjoy a world-class film programme from all over the world. The line up is a mix of films, workshops, events and hands-on film fun. The film programme includes previews and premieres, new world cinema, documentaries, archive titles, shorts, films made by young people and a sing-a-long-a favourite film!

The London Children's Film Festival offers quality learning experiences in its extensive education programme before and during the festival. Schools discover film as a tool for learning, families have fun together at hands-on workshops, and the LCFF’s young jurors and patrons work hard throughout the festival reviewing films, meeting the press and introducing events.

The London Children's Film Festival is based at the Barbican Centre

"the London Children's Film Festival is a step in the right direction. Let's hope it becomes part of a wider movement to open kids' eyes to the true wonders of the world of film" Mark Kermode, the Observer 12.11.06
