ABOUT LONDON FILM SCHOOL
LFS is based in the heart of London, where students create over 180 films annually. Our student body of roughly 220 develops a tremendous variety of individual voices via three intensive master's degree programmes: Filmmaking, Screenwriting, and International Film Business.
During the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, LFS curated over 60 masterclasses exclusively for its students with guests such as Editor Mick Audsley, Director Duncan Jones, Producer Henry Normal & Writer Angela Pell, Intimacy Coordinator Ita O'Brien, Comedian Ahir Shah, Director-Writer Pawel Pawlikowski, British playwriter Hanif Kureishi, Director Stephen Frears. The Outreach team started a Virtual Film Club programme for young people in schools and youth settings. One of the films, Out of Bounds, created by school children at the Highfield Junior School in Bromley, was nominated for Best Film under 11 at the 2020 Into Film Awards.
