Soho London Independent Film Festival
Thursday 17th – Sunday 20th November 2022
We are now open for short film submissions on FilmFreeway for this year’s festival.
“These guys so evidently believe in the power of film, care about your work and want you and your film to succeed. They put a tremendous effort into the festival, and it shows.”
Graeme Weston –
Produced & Co-directed ‘Going Flat’.
SohoLIFF is a short film festival based in the heart of London’s Soho.
Founded by filmmakers that have been hosting screenings in Soho for the last 16 years, this eclectic festival is now in its third year.
We welcome a range of genres and have a particular interest in films with a social and environmental message, films that matter. We love films that could make a difference, that give a voice to those who have been marginalised. But, we just love great films; as long as they are engaging we want to see them!
From the dark and gritty to the eccentric and flamboyant!! We believe that you can tell important stories in any genre be it comedy, horror, sci-fi or serious drama and documentary – paint a picture.
Films help change the way people think and giving you a chance to walk in someone else’s shoes is really powerful – that is why this festival exists, to support filmmakers on their journey.
Be part of that journey with SohoLIFF and make a difference.
Here are some of last year’s winning film trailers and a few of out Spotlight interviews.
