Poor Things opens LIFF 2023 on 3 November

 

A woman with thick eyebrows and a frilly outfit, stares off intensely while a mustached man cuddles against her.

Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo in Poor Things

 

We are thrilled to open LIFF 2023 with Poor Things from Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone, the winning film of the Venice Golden Lion and one of the year’s most anticipated films. Poor Things will screen at the beautifully restored Hyde Park Picture House and tickets will be available from 11 October when we launch the full LIFF 2023 programme (see more information in the next item).

Poor Things is an absurdist global odyssey celebrating female pleasure and liberation. Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) is a young woman who is brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist and embarks on a whirlwind adventure across the continents.

“Everything in it – every frame, every image, every joke, every performance – gets a gasp of excitement.” – Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

The LIFF 2023 Opening Film is presented in partnership with Film4 Productions. Backed by Film4, Poor Things is released in the UK by Searchlight Pictures on 12 January 2024.

 

 

 

 

Tickets now available for the LIFF 2023 programme launch on 11 October

 

 

Our very popular programme launch event returns this year to Vue Leeds in The Light on 11 October at 6pm and 8pm. You can see a free screening of trailers for over 40 film highlights from the LIFF 2023 programme, and you can be among the first to pick up the 92-page printed guide. Please use the link below to book your tickets for either 6pm or 8pm – up to two seats available per booking.

An audience sits in a cinema, their faces all lit up by the glow of the screen.

 

 

 

 

Order your LIFF 2023 guide

 

Lots of coloured triangles on a purple background, in the middle text says "37th Leeds International Film Festival, 3-19 Nov 2023. @leedsfilmfest /leedsfilm.com"

This year we're happy to announce that the LIFF 2023 guide will feature a new schedule view, designed to make it even easier to plan your day and avoid film clashes. The 92-page guide will be available for free, online and in key-venues across Yorkshire from October 12. You can also get the guide delivered directly to your home address although there will be a £3 charge per guide for postage, packaging and processing. 

 

 

 

 

Save the dates for the Fanomenon film marathons at LIFF 2023

 

On 4 November at Vue, our first SCI-FI DAY includes new films from Japan, the Czech Republic, Morocco, USA and France. On 11 November, DAY OF THE DEAD has a fantastic line-up of new horror including two UK Premieres, and on 17 November NIGHT OF THE DEAD returns with all-night film darkness, terror and gory fun – both at Hyde Park Picture House. You can book for all three Fanomenon film marathons from 11 October.

LIFF X Light Night Leeds: Liquid Fire

 

A group of people stand in front of a intense, large blue flame on a floor length black screen

Light Night Leeds is the UK’s largest annual arts and light festival and returns on 12 and 13 October. LIFF is delighted to support the Liquid Fire digital installation experience at Carriageworks Theatre as part of Light Night Leeds 2023. Created by artists Valentin Fayaud and Nicolas Michel of TS/CN digital art studio in Paris, Liquid Fire is a unique and monolithic digital sculpture that can be experiences at Carriageworks on Millennium Square from 7pm to 10.30pm on 12 and 13 October. 

 

 

 

 

LIFF Presents: Feminist Riposte

 

Smoke covers a group of people, many are wearing masks and have camera. The back of a protester can be seen in the foreground, waving a smoke device.

 

Wednesday 4 October / Vue Screen 11 / 7pm

Closing the current LIFF Presents season is an exclusive screening of Feminist Riposte which will screen at Vue Screen 11 on Wednesday 4 October at 7pm. By day they share stories and create posters. By night, they head to the streets, plastering the walls with slogans and reclaiming the cities as safe spaces for them to exist in. Marie Perennès and Simon Depardon's striking documentary follows women and people of marginalised genders across  France as they protest harassment, rape, femicide while challenging the authorities’ response to these issues. A rousing, intersectional documentary that highlights that not everyone's fight is the same, even if the end goal is shared. 

 

 

 

 

Black again! 50 years of BLAXPLOITATION AT HYDE PARK PICTURE HOUSE

 

A black woman in a fur coat and red headwrap stares off into the distance.

In celebration of 50 years of Blaxploitation, the Hyde Park Picture House is showing a series of Blaxploitation films presented alongside panels, talks and introductions, including the impact of women in the genre and reflections on Blaxploitation era fashion. This programme has been co-curated with Josiah Howard, expert in the Blaxploitation genre and Women of the Lens Film Festival. Highlights include screenings of Coffy, Cleopatra Jones, Black Caesar, Hell up in Harlem, Blaxploitation horror classic Blacula and a rare screening of Joe Bullet.

Four Seasons of the Caribbean

Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is a well-known piece of classical music that musically characterises all four meteorological seasons of the year. Four Seasons of the Caribbean is a 21st-century response to this classical masterpiece that blends the sounds and feelings of the Caribbean population in Britain.

Composers Philip Herbert, Cassie Kinoshi, Renell Shaw, and Ayanna Witter-Johnson (pictured above in order) were each commissioned to write a ‘season’ to contribute to the growing catalogue of ‘four seasons’ pieces in the repertoire. The result is a unique blend of sounds, both traditional and modern, featuring a solo violinist, a steel-pan player, and the outstanding Manchester Camerata orchestra.

Join us for the world premiere to celebrate Black British composers’ legacy and descendants of the Windrush generation. Mesmerising beats await!

Sat 25 November, 7.30pm & Sun 26 November, 3pm

There’s only three weeks left to see Beyond the Little Black Dress, at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh until Sun 29 Oct.

Whether you've not been before or are keen to come back for a second viewing, don't miss your opportunity to see what The Times called "a model fashion exhibition".

Taking a closer look at the wardrobe staple, there’s just a few weeks left to see the stunning Beyond the Little Black Dress at the National Museum of Scotland, while Monarchs of the Glen opens at Dovecot Studios and explores the international history of a Scottish icon.

The city’s incredible cocktail culture takes centre stage as Edinburgh Cocktail Week returns for ten days of cocktails, pop-ups, live music, street food and entertainment.

If you’re a fan of films, TV and comic books then you won’t want to miss Comic Con Scotland, taking place at the Royal Highland Centre. Or why not settle down and enjoy the magic of storytelling, music, songs and ballads with the Scottish International Storytelling Festival’s programme of captivating events.

The night skies will be brightened by several events taking place this month. Wondrous Woods will be illuminating the beautiful grounds of Gosford House in East Lothian, while Fawkes Festival features magnificent fireworks displays and entertainment for all the family. Rounding off the month, and marking the transition from summer to winter, Samhuinn Fire Festival will treat visitors to a breathtaking performance of fire, drumming, acrobatics and theatre.

As a crown dependency, our little island has its very own laws... It was once, quite strangely, against the law for a farmer to knit during fishing season. And in that charming way we like to confuse and confound, Jersey also has it's very own language... Jèrriais! But even if you can't pronounce our place names, there'll always be a friendly local nearby who's happy to help.

 

Rectangle: Rounded Corners: Learn the local tongue

 

 

This September, we welcomed a host of authors to the island as part of the Jersey Festival of Words. This got us thinking about our favourite places to get stuck into a good book in Jersey. From beautiful bays, to isolated offshore reefs, cosy pubs with roaring fires to soaring clifftops overlooking the Atlantic coast - you'll be sure to find your perfect reading nook on our curiously Brit...(ish) island.
