Film News // Our guide to the best online film, including LIFF
Stay Home Shorts, LIFF Films Now Streaming and LYFF Family Film
Picks...

Film at Home: LIFF Stay Home Shorts
We're curating special programmes of films
available online to share with you while we all miss going
to the cinema. Our first programme is an 80-minute
selection of 9 short films from previous editions of Leeds
International Film Festival, all former LIFF audience
favourites and mainly animations, plus two musical
interludes and one Yorkshire treat.
As the need for social distancing forces the
closure of cinemas, we are adapting to new ways of
experiencing the film culture we are so passionate about.
From the incredible wealth of films available to view
online to historical film archives and live-streamed
Q&As, Leeds Film are keeping you up-to-date with the
best new online film content and exciting new developments
across viewing platforms in our Film at Home series.
