- Movies by talented UK-based directors screened in Indy Film Library’s second UK event in partnership with myDylarama
- Films shown at London’s The Garden Cinema from 13:00 on August 29th 2026
- Tickets on sale now via the cinema’s website
Two years after it first screened at London’s Garden Cinema, Indy Film Library (IFL) is returning to host a new selection of top independent shorts, from UK-based filmmakers.
Hosted in collaboration with film collective myDylarama, the event welcomed artists and audiences from around the world.
The programme puts together a selection of the best works from mostly UK-based filmmakers that IFL has received since 2024. The IFL annual showcase takes place in Amsterdam, but with international travel becoming more complicated in recent years, this London event presents an opportunity for filmmakers outside the Netherlands to attend, and engage with audiences at one of our galas.
Tickets are now on sale via The Garden Cinema’s website.
Opened in March 2022, The Garden Cinema screens films of all shapes and sizes, from around the world. The venue is fiercely independent, and consistently looks outside the box to screen films its statement of intent defines as “worth seeing”, “of all genres that are true to life, well made, that left us feeling better or wiser for having seen them.” On that basis, IFL couldn’t have found a better venue to finally host its second UK short film showcase.

Beginning at 13:00 on Saturday the 29th of August, IFL’s programme of films is as follows:
