The London Underground Film Collective was founded in 2010. The festival accepted submissions of obscure, no budget, low budget, genre and genreless, new and recycled films. The films were then passed on to the review panel, which this year comprises four judges - Daniel Fawcett (One+One Filmmakers Journal), Giada Ghiringhelli (Video is the only Constant), Reen Polonski (GRAFT) and fashion designer Simon Preen (Urban Outfitters, ASOS).

LONDON UNDERGROUND FILM SESSIONS

During 2011 the London Underground Film Collective held monthly sessions at the Horse Hospital, presenting underground films exploring such diverse themes as psychedelic horror and celebrity obsession as well as showcasing exciting new work from film-makers working outside the mainstream.
