The Liverpool Film Festival in partnership with Odeon at Liverpool One.

Home to the world’s most successful musicians, sports figures and artists, The Liverpool Film Festival will take over two screens at the state of the art Odeon Liverpool One for a four day weekend on the 10th-13th October.

LIVIFF will welcome the best filmmakers from around the world to showcase their work on stunning cinema screens that will provide the perfect platform to see the films how they are meant to be seen.

After two successful years LIVIFF is looking to find bold and inventive stories, to screen in a city of rich history and passion. With the ambition to match the city’s cool and artistic identity, LIVIFF is determined to make its international film festival one that will be regarded as a must be at event on the film festival circuit for many years to come.

The international and local filmmaking community arrived in 2018 to enthusiastic and packed out premieres of films and guest appearances such as OFF THE RAILS starring Otmara Maria (Startup), documentary hit LADDIE: THE MAN BEHIND THE MOVIES, about the renowned Hollywood producer and SAY MY NAME, written by Deborah Francis White.

In 2019 all will be invited once again to celebrate the official selection and indulge in world and UK premieres, after parties, filmmaker talks, and a closing awards that will reward excellence and originality by a high profile jury of film industry professionals.

With UK Distribution representation and national press attendance at a passionate festival for great lasting stories, the Liverpool Film Festival 2019 will be one to enjoy and remember.

Neil Jeram-Croft, Operations Director for LIVIFF says: “Our expansion to two screens was testament to the growth the festival has made in such a short space of time. It is so important to us to be able to present films on the big screen and bring filmmakers and audiences closer together"
