Legitimacy ScoreOverview
The Day Job Short Film Festival is a quarterly short-film screening series in London, based on Brick Lane and presented in partnership with Galleria Objets. It is notable for putting short films into non-cinema art spaces, combining screenings with live music, Q&As, handmade awards, and networking with artists and other creatives; it positions itself as a grassroots platform for emerging filmmakers rather than a large industry festival.
