At the Leeds International Short Film Festival, we celebrate the transformative power of storytelling through the art of short films. Our mission is to provide a platform that bridges the gap between emerging filmmakers and global audiences, fostering creativity, dialogue, and innovation. By curating a diverse selection of films from around the world, we showcase fresh perspectives, groundbreaking ideas, and unique voices that challenge and inspire.
Each year, we bring together filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts for an immersive experience that includes screenings, interactive workshops, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. We are committed to championing diversity and inclusion, highlighting underrepresented voices, and pushing the boundaries of cinematic expression.
Leeds International Short Film Festival is more than an event—it’s a celebration of creativity, connection, and the limitless potential of short-form cinema. Through our work, we aim to ignite conversations, nurture talent, and make Leeds a beacon for filmmakers and storytellers worldwide.
