The Leeds International Film Festival (LIFF) is the largest film festival in England outside London. Founded in 1987, it is held in November at various venues throughout Leeds, West Yorkshire. In 2014, the festival welcomed over 40’000 visitor and showed over 300 films from around the world, shorts and features, commercial and independent.

The next Leeds International Film Festival will take place 4 - 19 November 2015.

LIFF features five programme sections: Official Selection, Retrospective, Cinema Versa, Fanomenon and Short Film City. LIFF is a qualifying film festival for the Academy Awards and the winning films in Short Film City’s Louis Le Prince International Short Film Competition and World Animation Award may thus be eligible for the Academy’s Short Film Award. The festival’s British Short Film Competition is BAFTA qualifying.

The festival is supported by Leeds City Council and the festival office is based in Leeds Town Hall, together with Leeds Young Film Festival (LYFF) (formerly Leeds Children & Young People's Film Festival (LCYPFF)).


LIFF Programme Sections and Awards

Leeds International film Festival's programme comprises of five programme categories: fficial Selection, Retrospective, Cinema Versa, Fanomenon and Short Film City. Fanomenon an Short Film City host various short film competitions, some of which qualify their winners for major film awards such as the Academy Awards. Moreover,the festival audience votes on their favourite feature film from all screenings. These votes determine the winner of the festival's Audience Award, as well as the extra screenings of Film festival Favourites towards the end of the festival.

Official Selection

The Official Selection hosts special previews and screenings of some of the most anticipated and acclaimed films of the year, as well as showcasing new discoveries from international independent filmmaking. Many of these have celebrated prizewinning successes at other major festivals such as Cannes or the Berlin International Film Festival.

Retrospective

Every year, LIFF shows a broad array of retrospective programmes, giving audiences the opportunity to watch forgotten gems as well as celebrated classics on the big screen.

Cinema Versa

Cinema versa is dedicated to the documentary and inspired by the underground festival aesthetic, showcasing low budget, independent features. The programme’s Music on Film section shows a range of old and new musical and film styles. Underground Voices, another Cinema versa section, provides a platform for Human rights and activist films. Cinema Versa’s Forum presents a series of special events.

Fanomenon

Fanomenon is the home of cult and fantasy cinema at LIFF. It presents new genre films, cult-subject documentaries, animated features, rarely-screened classics and movie marathons. Each year, beginning in 2001, the festival has played host to the Night of the Dead, an all-night horror-thon. The most recent festival introduced a single day of back to back anime films at Leeds Town Hall, to be repeated in 2015. Fanomenon also hosts two short film competitions: The Fanomenon Silver Melies Fantasy Short Film Award, the winner of which goes forward to compete for the coveted Méliès d'Or prize at Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival; and the Dead Short Competition for horror shorts.

Short Film City

Short Film City hosts the festival’s short film competitions and panoramas, as well as special events and exhibitions. The Lois le Prince International Short Film Competition is named after Louis le Prince, a French born film pioneer living in Leeds who made the first ever moving pictures in 1889. The Louis le Prince Competition, as well as the World Animation award are qualifying competitions for the Academy Awards. The festival’s British Short Film Competition is BAFTAqualifying.

2009 festival

The 23rd festival took place from 4 November 2009 – 22 November 2009, showing a range of films from all over the world, including Men Who Stare at Goats, the Coen Brother's A Serious Man, Bright Star and Bunny and the Bull.

Audience Award

Miyazaki's latest anime, Ponyo, won the audience award for the Leeds International Film Festival '09. Ponyo was chosen among a range of other animation films including Summer Wars, and haunting Angel's Egg, as part of the Fanomenon section.

Golden Owl Competition

The jury awarded the Golden Owl Award to La Pivellina, directed by Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel. They were moved by the honesty, humanity and detail of the film. It is a delicate lesson in the fundamentals of life. The jury was also impressed by its organic and assured qualities which manage to mix documentary and fiction in a seamless, fluid style. A special mention went to Puccini and the Girl for being a beautiful piece of cinema.

Silver Méliès winning feature

Philip Ridley's Heartless was chosen for its blending of fantasy and reality, its assured handling of a great many disparate genre elements – horror, urban drama, comedy and more besides – and the way it presented these familiar elements in a way that seemed both new and vital.

Silver Méliès special mention

The Decaillon Brothers' Sodium Babies stood out for its visual invention and daring appropriation of a huge variety of influences, taking what was on some level familiar about the vampire mythos and turning it into something genuinely distinctive, eye-catching, spirited and fresh.
