Festival Directors' Message

Vertical Divider

London Rocks International Film Festival was established out of a need for a platform for filmmakers to show bold, innovative and authentic films, created internationally and within the city of London. 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 with something truly new and exciting. Operating outside the confines of mainstream platforms, London Rocks programmes events in underground spaces in London, hosts year-round special events and curated online screenings.
 
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.
 
LONDON ROCKS, along with its sister festival BRIGHTON ROCKS (established 2017), are young festivals with big ambition – to rank among the UK’s main festivals for indie cinema. If your film embodies our ideals and aspirations, we want to help it get the recognition it deserves.
