At Luxembourg Indie - IFF (LIIF), we honor the originality and ingenuity present in independent films made worldwide. Our festival serves as a venue for showcasing and supporting up-and-coming artists, offering them a chance to stand out and establish connections with viewers who value independent filmmaking.

What sets LIIF apart is our commitment to showcasing a diverse range of films, from experimental and non-budget projects to high-quality productions shot in state-of-the-art studios. We believe that every filmmaker has a unique story to tell, and we embrace all forms of expression and artistic vision.

LIFF happens yearly at Ciné Café Prabbeli. Next showcase will be in May April 2024 for 4 days.
1st Day - Experimental
2nd Day - Drama
3rd Day - Documentary
4th Day - Animation

Our festival aims to capture the essence of human emotions, from the exhilaration of hitting the "start recording" button to the introspective moments of reflection when the "stop recording" button is pressed. Through the films we curate, we delve into the vast spectrum of human experiences, bringing forth stories that resonate with our audience on a deep and personal level.

Awards & Prizes
