Little Venice Film Festival 2026

The Little Venice Film Festival exists to champion independent cinema, amplify underrepresented voices, and deliver genuinely accessible film experiences. We support bold filmmakers, connect diverse audiences, and create cultural events that are rooted in community while resonating internationally.

At its heart, the Little Venice Film Festival is about discovery, inclusion, and imagination — championing filmmakers who push boundaries, connecting audiences with vital new work, and transforming London into a living, breathing screening space.

The cinema is delighted to welcome selected screenings for the festival's 2026 edition.
