London Cine Awards 9.1

Festival overview

About London Cine Awards 9.1

Physical film festival with submission categories including The London Beacon and Short Films.

Our mission is to forge a film festival and screenwriting competition that will ultimately launch the careers of faith-based writers and filmmakers and facilitate established artists in transitioning into faith-based films; and to introduce faith-based films to mass audiences, ultimately, giving them the same multi-platform release schedules and revenue streams that traditional studio films and high-end independent films enjoy; and to inspire, showcase, support, and develop writers and filmmakers of all faith’s to make great faith-based films that leave others touched, moved and inspired; and filmmakers and distributors empowered to make and distribute more films with an element of faith.

We encourage the breadth and variety of views and support the best up-and-coming filmmakers from around the world. We are here to recognize and spotlight creative and talented filmmakers like you.

Winners will be announced on our website and social media pages every month.
