Short Films Showing in London
Founded in 2003 and now in its 21st year, the London Short Film Festival (LSFF) returns to the capital this Janaury with ten days of short films, live events, Q&As, and multidisciplinary curation.
LSFF presents hundreds of British and international films each year, selected from over 5000 submissions, and are presented alongside workshops, panels and discussions for filmmakers and workers.
Sets Stripped Bare
London-based photographer Jo Broughton captured ‘Empty Porn Sets’ over the course of a decade whilst studying at the Royal College of Art, funding the work and her education by employment as a cleaner at the porn studio.
When all was quiet and the bodies had gone home she would photograph the aftermath of the day’s shoots. Broughton’s series offers a voyeuristic peep into the fantasy landscapes, rude pictures without the nudity.
