LISFE is an annual festival held in the city of Leiden (The Netherlands) dedicated to the most original and creative form of filmmaking: short films.
Since 2009 LISFE is run by a multicultural team of about 15 volunteers including expats, locals, international and dutch students.
LISFE believes in and promotes a wider experience of cinema outside cinema theatres and through short films of different genres, origins, purposes, natures, forms and implementations: such as video installations or live performances.
LISFE has so far presented - in undisclosed, historical and atmospheric venues - more than 400 short films from over 50 different countries to a crowd of 1000+ film-enthusiasts and distributed 15 awards to encourage and promote a new generation of filmmakers.
The 5th and upcoming most fantastic edition of the festival is taking place between the 1st and the 8th of June 2013!
