Blog: Film festivals

The Clapham International Film Festival is an international film festival that takes place in Clapham, London, UK.

We screen feature and short films in atmospheric venues with a keen eye for independent and cutting-edge material. 2026 will see us return for our 5th edition, and we're committed to providing a platform for daring and adventurous voices.

In 2026 we are looking to showcase out there, avant-garde filmmaking, as well as funny, perplexing and impossible to categorise mp4 format files. We work around the clock to fill the rooms we inhabit with seekers of brave new films, and make things as fun as possible in the process.

The festival takes place in September, and is organised by a crack team of independent filmmakers determined to bring interesting films into our hometown.
