The UK Jewish Film Festival honors Jewish culture, history, and narratives. With a wide selection of films ranging from plays to documentaries, the festival promotes understanding and conversation across cultures in the UK by highlighting Jewish experiences, history, and current challenges.

Previously known as the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, BFI Flare attracts some of the best works of LGBT cinema. It also offers film aficionados an opportunity to meet the directors and actors, who often make appearances at interviews and screenings.

This independent film festival was established by a group of film-makers in 1992 and specializes in showcasing first-time feature directors and low budget films. It was created in the spirit of promoting boldly fresh celluloid innovation and an imaginative passion for film, whatever the genre. The festival takes place annually, usually in early autumn. Venues include Curzon Mayfair, Curzon Soho, Genesis Cinema, Regent Street Cinema and more.

Thanks to Robert Redford, America's top showcase for independent films can also be found in London. Sundance London screens all the films shown in the United States at Park City's Sundance Festival in January. Past festivals have included films that have literally charted the history of independent cinema. Archival gems from early independent filmmakers, works by indigenous artists, animation of every kind, cutting-edge experimental works, midnight cult films, and the innovative Sundance Online Film Festival make the festival a complete film experience that celebrates the art and community of filmmaking.
