In just seven short days, the 4th edition of the LJMU MA Short Film Festival will be underway, meaning you’ll be able to watch all 36 of this year’s entries across Fiction, Animation, Documentary, & Experimental.

This week, we’ve been introducing some of the filmmakers and films featured in this year’s programme over on our social media channels. We’ll also have more content in the week leading up to the launch where we’ll also be revealing our new look Paper Bird Awards which have been crated by artist and filmmaker, Ivan Mack. Keep your eyes peeled for even more news and information in the coming week!
Live Screenings & Award Ceremony
In addition to being available to watch for free on our website for the duration of the festival, we’ll also be screening this year’s individual programme strands in front of a live audience! Every night from Monday 18th to Thursday 21st March, we’ll be holding screenings at LJMUs Redmonds Building on Brownlow Hill in Liverpool. These screenings are free to attend and we’ll also be joined by the filmmakers for a live Q&A, where you’ll be able to ask questions and find out more about their work. What’s more, on Friday 22nd March at Scale Liverpool, we’ll be holding our annual LJMU MA Short Film Festival Awards Ceremony, where we’ll be announcing the winners of this year’s Paper Bird Awards. Tickets for both events are absolutely free and can be booked here.
