Armenian Film Festival London

Armenian Film Festival London was established in 2024 by curator Kira Adibekov and filmmaker Tatevik Ayvazyan, and describes itself as “an established cultural event that celebrates the creativity of Armenian cinema and culture”. It is run by Armenian Arts & Film London, working with the Armenian Film Society in Los Angeles, and takes place over four days at the Institute of Contemporary Arts.

The festival screens “the newest Armenian films by directors both from Diaspora and Republic of Armenia, unseen gems, standout classics, rare experimental pieces and restorations by the giants of the Armenian cinema such as Parajanov and Egoyan”. Alongside the features are shorts programmes, masterclasses and Q&As, with an emphasis on the British Armenian creative community.
