Guest Film School at Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival

London Film School graduate competes in renowned film school short film competition at Cannes Film Festival    

London Film School (LFS) graduate Masha Novikova has been selected for La Cinef 2022 for her short film, Glorious Revolution. Set in 2014 at the height of the Ukrainian revolution, the film depicts a mother’s loss, as her son is killed while protesting in Independence Square. Her attempt to bury him as a hero clashes with the corruption in the bureaucratic system, testing her view of Ukraine.

March was a busy month for our alumni with a number of successes and achievements across the board. MA Screenwriting graduate Taiyo Yoshida won the Best Film Script (19 and Over) for Get in the Groove in the Film The House Competition.

The LFS community has been devastated by the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian State, and we stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and millions of others, to condemn the actions of the Russian government in the strongest possible terms.
