LIAF 2015 International Competition Programme 2: Being Human (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 examines some big life moments such as falling in and out of love, the fear of ageing and how your life can be chronicled through the loss of your teeth.
