London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival

The London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival (LLGFF) is held every spring at the National Film Theatre (NFT). It began as a season of gay and lesbian films at the NFT in 1986 and 1987 under the title "Gay's Own Pictures", curated by Peter Packer of the Tyneside Cinema, and was renamed the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in 1988. Having been a two week festival for many years, the festival ran for a week in 2011, and10 days in 2012.

Every summer, a selection of feature films and short films shown at the Festival goes on tour around the UK.

The Derek Oyston Film Award has been presented at the LLGF since 2009.
