9 October to 19 October

Leiden International Film Festival

11 days filled with premieres, special film events, parties and more: that’s the Leiden International Film Festival.

LIFF was founded in 2006 and has grown into one of the most important film festivals in the Netherlands. The 2025 edition will take place from 9 to 19 October, and will feature over 100 films from all over the globe, ranging from arthouse films to mainstream movies, and everything in between!

For the last 19 years, the Leiden International Film Festival has shown a wonderful selection of films that stand out and are worth a look. Premieres of gems that no one knows about yet, indie films that will be talked about for years to come, and award-winning crowd pleasers from major international festivals.
