London Film School (LFS) is proud to announce a significant presence at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale), with student and alumni work represented across film selection, industry talent programmes, and special anniversary screenings.
"The end product is 6 hours but to get there was years of work. You have to remember your life is the process, don’t chase the final destination so much."
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 Evolution of LGBTQ+ Films: From Brokeback Mountain to Love, Simon and My Old Ass
Written by MA Screenwriting student, Shaarath Vihari
When Brokeback Mountain premiered back in 2005, it was a watershed moment for LGBTQ+ representation in film. A tragic love story between two cowboys in 1960s Wyoming, the film depicted the brutal realities of repression and homophobia – showing queer love as something secretive, dangerous, and ultimately heartbreaking.
