London Film School celebrates strong presence at Berlinale 2026

We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with screenwriting alumnus, Samuel Jefferson, who told us all about his journey from grad to co-creator and head writer of the award winning Apple TV Original series, Berlin ER. The series won Best Drama Series and Best Cinematography Fiction (Tim Kuhn and Jieun Yi) at the German Television Awards, and was nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Directing Fiction and Best Editing Fiction – an incredible achievement!

The Graduate Showcase will take place from 14 – 16 January 2026 at the BFI Southbank.

London Film School’s Graduate Showcase is an opportunity to celebrate the latest cohort of London Film School graduates and present projects across the MA Degree courses. 

Wednesday 14 – Thursday 15 January

How many film releases do you think you would have completely missed if there was no marketing for it? Word of mouth can only go so far… That means no posters, no trailers, no social media, no interviews and definitely no junkets! We all love a good deep dive with the cast and crew to get us excited about a film’s release.
