London Breeze Film Festival is the home for emerging filmmakers, connecting them to new & loyal audiences, and providing them with opportunities to flourish.

our mission

who we are

London Breeze Film Festival is a UK based film festival that first launched in 2015 as Barnes Film Festival.

The festival has championed independent creators from the start, and has since its rebrand in 2023/24 focused on expanding to new venues and new audiences across London. 

As a BIFA qualifying event we’ve got our sights firmly set on achieving BAFTA and OSCAR qualifying status over the next 5 years, which would allow our winning films and filmmakers to be considered for designated categories in these two prestigious award competitions.

An ambitious goal to continue to boost our support for emerging filmmakers and to increase the reach of our festival.
