IL Film Festival is the first London based, Italian Short Film Festival dedicated to movies with an Italian flavour.

A buzzing night to have a taste, in little bites, of Italian cinema.

Founded by 3 young Italian actors who made London their new home, the Festival aims to bring the two worlds closer.

A great networking event for actors and industry people: a big opportunity for directors and producers to showcase their work and make new contacts, and surely a chance for cinema lovers to spend a lovely night in central London.

There will be a Best Film Award, given by the Jury, and also an Audience Award.
