The London Bengali Film Festival (LBFF) is an annual event celebrating Global Bengali Cinema, particularly focusing on underrepresented South Asian cinema and independent filmmakers from Bangladesh, India, and the South Asian diaspora. Founded in 2016, LBFF is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting Bengali cinema as an essential cultural heritage in the UK. As the largest Bengali film event in the UK and Europe, the festival spans six days in and around London, providing a platform for Bengali-linked films to reach both the mainstream UK audience and the substantial Bengali community of over half a million people.
