Screening as part of London Short Film Festival, running from 23rd January to the 1st February 2026.
Across its streets, buses, basements, and bars, London holds countless acts of self-invention. From a viral myth about a ‘Jewish bus route’ to the radiant memory of a trans dancer reclaiming her story, each film engages with London as a site of friction and becoming.
Some films flow through the city like a cyclist mapping its contours; others linger in forgotten corners like the ghosts of community spaces lost to development. Together, they ask; who gets to belong, to move, to make meaning here?
Featuring new work from Teva Cheema [Highgate 214] and Rhea Storr [New Territories (Spectacle is King)]
