Welcome to BELIFF 2025, London’s vibrant celebration of independent cinema. Now in its ninth edition, BELIFF (Be Epic!) champions meaningful, bold storytelling and brings together filmmakers and film-lovers in a spirit of discovery and creativity. The festival selects a diverse programme of short and feature-length films — from animation, documentary, fiction, to experimental works — all chosen for originality, voice and vision.
Set in the heart of East London at Queen Mary University’s ArtsOne/BLOC venue, the festival offers an immersive experience: engaging screenings, thought-provoking conversations and opportunities to connect with emerging voices in cinema.
