Leeds International Film Festival NOV 3 - 17, 2016 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION LIFF is as much about exploring the city of Leeds as about discovering films from around the world. For our 30th anniversary year, Leeds International Film Festival we’re presenting over 300 events in a record 30 venues citywide, taking the LIFF experience into cinemas, music halls, churches, community venues, pubs, bars, clubs, museums, colleges, Millennium Square, Kirkgate Market, Leeds Station, and even onto boats. In partnership with Bruntwood, we’ve also commissioned a virtual reality short starring the city itself: Welcome to Leeds, a City in Bloom NOV 3 - 17, 2016 takes you on a 360° tour of new and historic sites in the company of poetry from Leeds Young Authors. We’ve collaborated with so many more organisations and individuals based in the city to produce LIFF30, including with Leeds Inspired and four artists on the creation of our anniversary posters that appear on this page. LIFF30 is an epic celebration of Leeds and film, and a huge thank you to everyone who has made it possible.
