For the fourth year running My SMASH Media has partnered with London Independent Film Festival to host a Pitching session ahead of the LIFF mini-market.
The SMASH Pitch session is open to all but is required attendance for shortlisted participants who will have the opportunity to practice their 3 minute pitch.
Pitching is rarely a walk in the park so the team at SMASH is keen to help filmmakers understand what to include in their pitch as well as feel as relaxed and confident as possible when it comes to selling a project to potential backers.
Join us and pick up some useful tips.
To submit your pitch visit https://www.mysmash.media/ideas/liff-mini-market. And the best part of it is that it’s all FREE to create & submit your SMASH Pitch.
Come and join us on Sunday 6th April at 1:30pm – 3:30pm at Genesis.
For Full Details, and to book, check out the Event Page at Genesis
The London Independent Film Festival (LIFF) is devoted to the advancement of first- and second-time filmmakers telling amazing stories with limited budgets. Hosted every spring at the Genesis cinema – repeatedly voted the best cinema in the UK – the 2024 London Independent Film Festival will screen the work of almost 100 filmmakers from around the world. Stretching over 10 days with numerous industry events, LIFF offers an unmissable opportunity for networking and building collaborations for future projects. It’s little wonder that Time Out Magazine has called LIFF “a treasure trove of undiscovered cinematic gems, one of Europe’s top indie film fests”.
With a reputable support system for emerging filmmakers, LIFF includes popular training programs run by industry professionals who understand the ins and outs of moving a filmmaker’s career to the next level.
LIFF will be hosting our first ever Autumn edition on October 3-12, 2025 at Genesis Cinema.
LIFF have confirmed the 23th Spring edition which will be at Genesis Cinema 10th-19th April 2025!
Preview format must be digital online screener. Submit either through a festival submission platform’s internal screener (like Film Freeway) or via a hosting site like Vimeo. If you are unable/unwilling to use digital submission, please contact us and we’ll work something out.
