The 8th edition of the Slow Film Festival will take place over the weekend of 20th - 21st September, 2025 at Good Shepherd Studios, Leytonstone, East London. Tickets will go on sale soon! There will be the option of booking to view many of the films on our online showcase for those not able to attend in person.

The Slow Film Festival (a charitable organisation founded in 2016) gives a platform to filmmakers whose work engages with time and duration on screen. The festival is a space to view and discuss films that are pushing the boundaries of “slow film” as well as those that have defined its history. It aims to be a meeting point where the uses of duration in film can be debated and where new friendships and potential collaborations can take root. We are committed to expanding the world of experimental film and welcome both aficionados and newbies alike.
