Strut the red carpet at the Official Premiere Screenings of London 48 Hour Film Project 2026

Get Ready for the Official Premiere Screenings of the London 48 Hour Film Project 2026!

Lights. Camera. London. 🎬✨

The London 48 Hour Film Project returns for its 19th Edition, and this year for the first time, we’re taking over Vue Leicester Square for an unforgettable day of red carpet arrivals, big-screen premieres, filmmaking talent and celebration.

After one intense weekend of writing, shooting, editing and delivering a short film in just 48 hours, our London filmmaking teams now get the moment they’ve been working towards: seeing their films premiere on the big screen in the heart of the West End.

Expect a proper cinematic day out — filmmakers, friends, family, creatives and film lovers all coming together under one roof.

Saturday 26 September 2026

Vue Cinema, Leicester Square, London

Red Carpet opens: 11am

Screening Group 1: 12pm–3pm

Screening Group 2: 3pm–6pm

Drinks Reception in the bar: 6pm–7pm

Before, between and after the screenings, guests can enjoy the bar area, meet the filmmakers, grab a drink from the cash bar, take photos on the red carpet and soak up the atmosphere.

This isn’t just a screening. It’s the culmination of 48 hours of pressure, creativity, teamwork, caffeine, chaos and extraordinary filmmaking.

Come celebrate the people bold enough to make a film from scratch in one weekend — and watch their stories where they belong:

On the big screen.

One weekend. Countless stories. One unforgettable premiere.

In partnership with Vue, PinPoint Media, Frame by Frame Foundry and Tenzing.
