On top of this, there will also be art on display by some of London's finest up-and-coming "street" artists.The festival has a number of different themes including:
Caribbean Film (a two day showcase of contemporary films produced by Caribbean filmmakers)
European Films (a 'Best Of' selection from France, Spain, Germany and around Europe)
London Film-Makers (a selection of contemporary London film making)
Some particularly interesting-sounding highlights include:
The Beat Goes On
