LIAF 2015 International Competition Programme 1: From Absurd to Zany (15)

October 1, 2015 by LIAF

The backbone of the whole LIAF mission. We’ve emerged from under the pile of 2,400 entries to put together a series of programmes that showcase the best 118 new films. Six ‘general’ International Competition Programmes, our ever popular Abstract Showcase and 
Long Shorts programmes, plus the British Showcase. The films come in from every corner, they use every technique, they can be funny, dramatic, eye-popping, subdued, documentary or autobiographical. The one thing they have in common is that we think they’re the pick of the crop.

This programme celebrates some of the funniest, weirdest and eye-poppingly nutty films that were entered this year.
