The UK’s Music Doc Film Festival celebrates music subcultures, by providing a unique platform to support their cinematic expressions!

Passionate about independent film and music across all genres, the Fest provides audiences with the opportunity to watch these films as they were designed to be watched – LOUD. Doc’n Roll Film Fest was launched in 2014.

The 23rd edition of the UK Jewish Film Festival will take place between November 8th and 22nd.

UK Jewish Film welcomed 30,000 visitors last year through its flagship, annual UK Jewish Film Festival, its international festivals, as well as its 450 additional year-round screenings and previews at venues across London and the UK. Its wide range of films include feature films, documentaries, shorts and archive films, which reflect the diversity of Jewish and Israeli life and culture. Since its inception UK Jewish Film has welcomed over 300,000 visitors. Its popular video on demand platform brings its unique provision of film to many more. The organisation also runs acclaimed education programmes that reach hundreds of young people each year including through its schools programme harnessing the power of film to combat antisemitism.

The galas will feature both a UK Premiere with the incredible Opening Night Gala Working Woman as well as showcase the highly anticipated Three Identical Strangers through its London Premiere at the special Centrepiece Gala. Additionally, Charlotte Gainsbourg (Best Actress Cesar Nomination) and Pierre Niney star in this year’s Closing Night Gala Promise At Dawn(pictured).

Since 2011, Fringe! Queer Film & Arts Fest has been an entirely volunteer-run organisation rooted in London’s queer creative scene. In Novembers, and throughout the year, we showcase an eclectic mix of films, arts and events celebrating LGBTIQA+ stories from around the world, welcoming everybody.

Fringe! started in 2011 as a community response to arts cuts carnage, and since then we’ve ‘expanded exponentially to become one of the most innovative and exciting festivals on the circuit.’(Londonist)

From feature films to experimental installations, workshops and lively debates to wild parties, Fringe! hosts a multitude of diverse events to tickle every one of the senses. You’ll see us flooding East London’s cinemas, art galleries, pop-up venues and basement clubs with the powerful, provocative and strange.

As we continue to develop and our Fringe! family continues to grow, some things stay the same: a lot of our screenings and events are free or affordable, we remain open to new voices and ideas, and we’ll always be queer: celebratory but critical as hell.

Our dirty picks from the event include the Brazilian The Whisper of a Jaguar and the Greek Obscuro Barroco.

The London International Animation Festival
(LIAF 2018) 30 Nov – 9 Dec
www.liaf.org.uk

The London International Animation Festival (LIAF 2018) returns to the
Barbican for its fifteenth year with an extensive ten-day celebratory feast of
forums, Screentalks and over 200 of the best recent, historical and retrospective
animated shorts and features from around the world.

The Festival promises to inspire, delight and challenge the notion that animation
is merely for the 3D blockbuster genre, or cute cartoons. Independent animation
is an art form that continues to thrive and develop as a breathtaking medley of
styles, materials, techniques and production – from hand drawn, paint on glass,
collage, sculpture, to some of the more interesting developments in CGI – all of
which can be seen at this year’s LIAF.
