The initiative of ComMattersKenya and ArtMatters.Info in collaboration with Goethe-Institut, LKSff deals with all sorts of short moving images: Public Service Announcements (PSAs), Commercials, Animations, Experimentals, Avant-Garde, Documentaries, Music Videos, and Fictions.
The crew and cast of the film in focus usually attend the meeting and field questions from players in the movie sector.
The aims of LKSff are to build capacity in the movie sector of Kenya and eastern Africa; and to help turn movie-making in the region into a sustainable industry.

A training ground for Moviemakers; Event Programmers and Presenters; Public Speakers and Discussion Moderators; Journalists and Critics; Promoters and Marketers; and Resource-Mobilisers, LKSff is often one of the first–and perhaps the only–place where new films can be seen and young talent spotted.
LKSff is a networking platform for practitioners who are committed to the development of the 7th Art–Movies–into an industry in eastern Africa. Each monthly meeting shows and critiques motion pictures, encourages filmmakers and explores ways of integrating movie-production with other socio-cultural and economic sectors in order to come up with a veritable creative industry.

LKSff, that has been running every month since 2005, is so far the most consistent and longest running movie platform on the Nairobi arts and entertainment calendar.
