<div>Hi, I’m Marc, founder of the Little Venice Film Festival (LVFF).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, LVFF has been about one thing: <strong>making film accessible to everyone.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are an international film festival and Community Interest Company that supports independent filmmakers while championing inclusivity - giving a platform to female, LGBTQ+, and Global Majority creators, and ensuring cinema is accessible for disabled, deaf, and neurodivergent audiences.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This isn’t just a festival - it’s a community.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why we need your help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we approach our 2026 festival, we’ve been hit with an unexpected challenge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At a crucial stage, we’ve lost key sponsors. Despite months of planning and with filmmakers already confirmed and travelling to attend - we are now facing a significant funding gap.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What your support will do</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are aiming to raise <strong>£20,000</strong> to secure the future of this year’s festival and beyond. <strong>Your support will help us:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cover essential delivery costs, including venue, staffing, and production
</li>
<li>Deliver accessible screenings across the programme, including subtitles on all films
</li>
<li>Present a fully accessible screening with sign language, audio description, and subtitles
</li>
<li>Continue our mission of making cinema inclusive and accessible for all
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution directly supports our work - as a Community Interest Company, all funds go straight back into the festival and its mission.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why this matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the years, LVFF has:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Created opportunities for filmmakers who are often excluded
</li>
<li>Built a space where audiences feel represented and included
</li>
<li>Delivered meaningful, accessible cultural experiences
</li>
<li>Features screenings with sign language, audio description, and subtitles across all films—making accessibility a core part of the festival
</li>
<li>We programme dedicated strands including Disability Experience, Mental Health, LGBTQ+ stories, Girls in Film, and Female Perspectives on Screen—ensuring underrepresented voices are seen, heard, and celebrated.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve even been recognised by <a href="https://www.timeout.com/london/things-to-do/london-events-in-april" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Time Out</strong></a><strong> </strong>as one of the best things to do in London and featured in <a href="https://deadline.com/2023/08/troy-kotsur-will-open-accessible-little-venice-film-festival-in-london-1235523585/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Deadline</strong></a>, <a href="https://www.screendaily.com/features/the-uk-film-festivals-you-need-to-know-2024-dates-submission-and-contact-details/5184035.article" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Screen Daily</strong></a>, <a href="https://monocle.com/radio/shows/the-entrepreneurs/eureka-360/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Monocle</strong></a><strong> </strong>and other publications.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>But right now, we need your help to continue.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong>How you can help - Donate &amp; Share</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve built something special over the years - a space where everyone belongs, both on screen and in the audience - and right now, we’re at a critical moment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With your support, we can continue telling stories that matter, supporting voices that deserve to be heard, and making film accessible to all.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
