Closing Night Gala - The Best of the Fest (15*)

London International Animation Festival 2025

LIAF 2025 Best of the Fest

The judges have deliberated, the audience votes have all been counted and we’ve pulled together a final programme that celebrates the very best of the fest!

Awards are given for the ‘Best Sound’, ‘ Best Children’s Film’, ‘Best Abstract Film’ and ‘Best Late Night Bizarre Film’. And as always, the programme ends with the ‘Best British film’ and the ‘Best film of the Festival’.

Announcements will be made by the Festival Director and the judges. Filmmakers will be welcomed to the stage to say a few words and to pick up their prizes courtesy of our prize-winning sponsors The Elf Factory, RCA (Royal College of the Arts) and Karrot Animation, and their trophies designed by the talented students from Greenwich University.

This is your last chance to see these wonderful films before the curtain comes down on another glorious LIAF.

Closing Night Gala - The Best of the Fest screens twice on Sun 7 Dec, in Cinema 1 at 5.20pm, and again in Cinema 2 at 8.15pm. Both of these slots are bookable via the check dates & book button.
