Palm Tree Films Named Main Sponsor of London Rolling Film Festival 2026
Palm Tree Films has been announced as the main sponsor of the 16th edition of the London Rolling Film Festival (LRFF), marking a renewed partnership with the independent film event after previously supporting the festival in 2024.
The sponsorship was confirmed ahead of LRFF’s 2026 edition, which takes place from 17 to 21 September at Vue Cinema Piccadilly in central London.
Founded by Alida Pantone, the London Rolling Film Festival has evolved from a small film night in Shoreditch into an international event showcasing independent cinema through screenings, networking opportunities, awards and industry discussions.
According to festival organisers, Palm Tree Films’ backing will contribute to filmmaker initiatives focused on visibility, professional connections and audience engagement.
Palm Tree Films operates across film sales, production and publishing through its Palm Tree International, Palm Tree Universal and Palm Tree Publishing divisions. The company is based in Iver, Buckinghamshire, and distributes content to platforms including Tubi, Amazon, Roku Channel and Apple TV.
The partnership comes as independent festivals continue to play an important role in providing exhibition opportunities and industry access for emerging filmmakers.
LRFF’s 2026 programme is expected to include screenings, networking events, awards presentations and filmmaker support initiatives, including the Help To Roll Fund and Pitch Corner.
Film submissions for the festival remain open through FilmFreeway until 23 July 2026.
