The inaugural Armenian Film Festival London will be held this December 6-8, 2024 at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London.

Armenian Film Festival London is held under the auspices of the Armenian Embassy in the UK, in collaboration with the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and the Armenian Film Society’s newly established UK branch.

Armenian Film Festival London is the first London-based annual festival celebrating Armenian culture and creative potential, and aims to showcase the best emerging and classic filmmaking from the Republic of Armenia and the Diaspora. The program follows two main thematic strands— war in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), and the joint centenary celebration of the national cinema and Sergei Parajanov while promoting new talent from Armenia and the Diaspora, with special emphasis on the British Armenian creative community.

The three-day film festival will showcase a carefully curated selection of contemporary Armenian films, offering London audiences an opportunity to experience the rich cultural tapestry and artistic talent of Armenian filmmakers. The festival will feature film screenings, Q&A sessions with filmmakers, and other special events.
