The backbone of the whole LIAF mission.

We’ve emerged from under the pile of 2,600 entries to put together a series of screenings that showcase the best 85 new films from every corner of the world. The one thing they have in common is that we think they’re the pick of the crop. This is your annual window into the international indie animation universe.

This programme takes a look at all aspects of emotion – love, hate, jealousy, sensuality, melancholy, anxiety and confusion. Subjects range from a betrayed wife investigating her husbands mistresses, a girls online dating quest in search of love, an achingly beautiful love-story set in 1950’s Italy, a true crime story about Little Red Riding Hood and themes include social media, hipster culture, speed dating and cyber love.
