Luleå film festival (LFF) is an international event, and it is the first appropriate film festival of its own kind in the beautiful city of Luleå, Sweden.
The aim is to promote and encourage short and documentary films from across the world by giving them the opportunity to showcase them here. And of course to give prizes, such as certificates and trophies to the winning films.
We had a wonderful 1st season, and now we are furthermore motivated for our 2nd season of the Luleå Film Festival in 2020.

    I've got just an initial message from the festival but they never followed up, so I have no idea if they've screened our film or not.
