Leeds International Film Festival (40th Edition, 29 October — 15 November) |
Extra repeat screenings added to the last weekend of LIFF 2026
Still from Daughters of the Forest
We hope you’ve been having a great time at LIFF 2026 and there are still a few days to go, including our big final weekend. We’ve just added extra repeat screenings for two more of our most popular films on 14 Nov at Vue: fascinating Mexican documentary Daughters of the Forest about the hidden world of fungi; and beautiful Japanese drama Memorizu which has won the best feature award in our Constellation Competition.
These repeat screenings are in addition to ones we have announced already and here’s a round-up if you missed the updates: The History of Concrete at Cottage Road, and Black Church Bay, Mārama, and A Taipei Story at Vue, all screening on 14 Nov. We also added a new feature film to the final weekend, Jordan Firstman’s electric first feature Club Kid, screening at Cottage Road on 13 Nov and Vue on 14 Nov.
Thank you to everyone who has been voting in the LIFF 2026 Audience Awards for best feature films. You can see the latest lists of audience favourites on the link below. La Bola Negra is currently the leading fiction feature, Ultimate Thunder the leading documentary, and Persepolis the leading retrospective feature. We will announce the winning films on social media at 10pm on our closing night on 15 Nov.
Last week at LIFF 2026 we presented our competitions for features and shorts. A huge thank you to our juries who joined us in Leeds to view the selected films and decide the winners. You can see the full lists of winners, special mentions, and jury comments on the links below. There is another chance to see all 9 winning short films in the LIFF SHORTS 2026: The Award Winners programme at 2pm on 12 Nov at Everyman.

Still from From Beyond
Are you brave enough for a whole night of horror? Our iconic all-night horror film marathon, Night of the Dead returns to the historic Hyde Park Picture House as part of LIFF2026, on Friday 13 November.
Night of the Dead opens with frightening French thriller No Way Down, followed by action-horror Oddities and a tense, terrifying found footage film, Infirmary. Our retrospective screening this year is the gory, 4K re-release of From Beyond, a cult masterpiece from horror legend Stuart Gordon (director of Re-Animator.) Between features, there'll be screenings of seven spooky short films.
Tickets are still available, so don't miss your chance to experience the only all-night horror film celebration in Leeds.

Five hidden gem town and villages to explore

HeyI think November gets a bit of a bad reputation. The clocks have gone back, the evenings are suddenly much darker, the best of the autumn colour is beginning to disappear, and Christmas hasn’t quite taken over yet. But I actually think this can be one of the loveliest times to explore Yorkshire. The popular beauty spots start getting quieter. All that autumn rain makes waterfalls and rivers far more dramatic. Ruins, moorland and old stone villages somehow look even more atmospheric beneath grey skies. And, perhaps most importantly, there’s always the promise of a warm café at the end of your adventure. ☕ I’ve been out exploring quite a bit recently and have several new places, stories and videos that I’m really excited to share with you over the next few weeks. I’m deliberately keeping some of those discoveries under wraps for now while I finish putting everything together, but there’s lots coming. In the meantime, if you’re looking for somewhere to go this November, I’d encourage you not to wait for perfect weather. Pull on your walking boots, choose somewhere you’ve never been before and see what Yorkshire looks like at this quieter time of year. Sometimes the slightly gloomy days make the best adventures. And, as always, you’ll find my round-up of events happening across Yorkshire this weekend below. Until our next adventure, P.S. The photos in this week’s email header are from York Ghosts After Dark, which I visited last week. It was such a fun, spooky evening wandering through the city in search of the ghost sculptures and stopping to listen to eerie ghost stories along the way. 👻 Yorkshire Events What's on in Yorkshire this weekend?Here's a glimpse of what's on in Yorkshire this weekend 👀 West Yorkshire: Light Up Wakefield returns this Friday and Saturday with illuminated art, projections and a free city-centre trail. You can catch the Friday switch-on or Saturday's nature-themed illuminated parade. Find out more. East Yorkshire: Bridlington Ice Trail returns this Saturday with hand-carved sculptures inspired by medieval fantasy. You can follow the displays around town, alongside fire-and-ice performances and festive market stalls. Find out more. South Yorkshire: Elsecar Christmas Makers Market takes over the heritage centre this Sunday with independent traders, handmade gifts and seasonal food. You can browse under one roof while supporting local makers, with free entry and parking. Find out more. Discover more events in Yorkshire here: Want to get the most out of Yorkshire this year?
