Leiden International Short Film Experience

International short film festival.

About

LIsFE has offered both local and international visitors a high-quality selection of short films from across the globe, ranging from works of fiction to documentaries and animated films, directed by professional and cinema/media school student filmmakers. This has allowed our audience to discover internationally acclaimed works as well as short films by promising newcomers. The festival is organized around a competition in which a jury as well as the audience award the best films with a prize acknowledging the work of the most talented filmmakers. 

The key to LIsFE’s success is its threefold purpose:

  • To allow people to have a complete and in-depth experience of short films, a creative and vibrant yet often overlooked part of cinematography,
  • To support the next generation of filmmakers by introducing the works of cinema school students to a wider audience,
  • To create a cultural event that can bring together both the local and the international people of Leiden (all films are subtitled in English).
