At L.G.F.A., our goal is to motivate and inspire this generation of filmmakers to push their limits and dazzle the world!

We provide personalised feedback for ALL selected works. This means that, even for those who do not win, taking part is a valuable experience. Competitions are open to everyone - we love to see passion projects brought to life.

When it comes to subject matter, our audience is ready for anything. The only thing we ask is that your project have English subtitles. This is because, even though our community is worldwide, all live screenings take place in the British capital, London.

Our jury has many decades of experience in the industry - having worked alongside filmmakers such as Jackie Chan, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Ewan McGregor, to name but a few - so we offer a wealth of wisdom to all participants by providing personalised feedback, which is included as standard for every official selection.
