History

LISFE started off in 2009 as a spin-off of the University of Leiden Student Cinema Club. Since then, the festival has been grown to a four-day event exploring the borders between different sorts of art and providing a podium to established but especially young talented filmmakers, artists and musicians. Next to the main festival in spring, LISFE is involved in cultural events throughout the year in collaboration with several organizations in Leiden and surroundings. Examples are Leiden International Film Festival (LIFF), Leiden Observatory, RAP, Vrijplaats Leiden, Cultuurmaand, Nacht van Ondekkingen and Museumnacht Leiden.

Jury

Since 2012 the Festival has three categories of awards- General Award, Student Award and Audience award. Juries for both General and Student Award select one film for the designated awards. The Jury is generally composed of scholars, filmmakers and other film professionals alike. For the 2019th edition the winners will be announced on the evening of Saturday 11 May. The Audience votes during the festival and the results are announced on the last day of the festival.
