ABOUT US

London On Film Festival 2009 promotes cinema exploring the city of London and the different worlds within it. We aim to engage our audience with the artistry of our chosen films and draw them into discussion about the ideas behind them - joining to find answers to our evenings’ questions.

Within its 600 square miles, London plays host to a brilliant mix of 8 million individuals from every country in the world. But even in sharing the same streets or houses, each inhabits their own, often separate, world. So what is it that binds us all together between our city’s walls?

Based on the themes Who? What? When? Where? And Why? London, our festival examines the capital’s personality through its representation on film - looking deep into its dark underbelly and back into its gloriously gritty past - while at the same time celebrating its diverse and uniquely enticing atmosphere. We hope that in focusing on what we share, our city, we can generate a greater appreciation and understanding of each other and our surroundings, uniting the many lives of London.

Story Of London Festival...

London On Film Festival is proud to be part of The Story of London's month-long celebration of the city's past, present and future.

'London... A little place by the river that is home to millions and is a colossus on the world stage. There are so many stories to tell, in so many different ways, and the Story of London will be a kaleidoscopic exposition of the city's past, present and future. It will bring together some superb attractions for visitors and Londoners, who will also be able to 'revisit' their city with fresh eyes.' - Boris Johnson
