Leiden International Film Festival

11 days filled with premieres, special film events, parties and more: that’s the Leiden International Film Festival.
LIFF was founded in 2006 and has grown into one of the most important film festivals in the Netherlands. The 2024 edition will take place from October 10 to October 20, and will feature over 100 films from all over the globe, ranging from arthouse films to mainstream movies, and everything in between!

For the last eighteen years, the Leiden International Film Festival has shown a wonderful selection of films that stand out and are worth a look. Premieres of gems that no one knows about yet, indie films that will be talked about for years to come, and award-winning crowd pleasers from major international festivals.
The nineteenth edition of the Leiden International Film Festival focuses on the three pillars that have made the festival so great, each with its own competition during the festival: Independent (independent films, American Indie Competition), Emerging (makers of the future, First Feature Competition) and Extraordinary (exceptionally special, Bonkers! Competition).
That is what LIFF is all about: screening the best films (for the first time) in the Netherlands, and all that without making a big fuss about it!
