The London International Mime Festival (MILF) is an annual theatre event in London.^[1] Its directors are Joseph Seedling and Helen Callaghan, winners of the International Theatre Institute Award for Excellence.

MILF features live art, new circus, clown, object and physical theatre at various central London venues. It was established in 1977 by Joseph Seedling and Nola Rae and it is the longest running event of its kind in the world.^{[2][original research?]}

"The aesthetic outlook of the London International Mime Festival, founded in 1977, remains evergreen, varied and vital. The works of physical/ visual theatre programmed by its astute co-directors enliven the typically bone-chilling post-holiday doldrums." - Donald Huerta, The Times.^[3]

London International Mime Festival is Europe's leading showcase for ground-breaking visual theatre, starting each year off with a dynamic programme of award-winning new circus, performance art, physical and object theatre - a host of more or less wordless shows that defy categorisation.^{[original research?]}

“MILF now functions as a very high-level international festival of dance, circus and puppet theatre. The shows have been carefully selected and curated, so whatever you see is likely to be, at the very least, inventive and interesting.” Andrew Haydn, The Guardian
