To the London Middle East & North Africa Film Festival

The London MENA Film Festival (LMFF) aims to be the go to place for Middle Eastern and North African cinema in London. We have three main objectives – by promoting MENA film in London we aim to reach audiences who might not otherwise get the opportunity to see this cinema, thus encouraging cross-cultural dialogue and understanding.

We also want to give film-makers from the region and its Diaspora a much needed platform to showcase their talents here in the Capital. Thirdly, we feel passionately about connecting the Diaspora not only to people in the MENA region but also to each other – creating a culture of inclusivity and avoiding one of difference.
