Welcome to London Indian Film Festival 20 June - 3 July

This summer, London INDIAN Film Festival (LIFF) returns to the city for its third edition. Building on last year's massive success, we are more determined than ever to bring you the hottest new Indian independent cinema across London, in some of the capital's most prestigious venues. We are also very pleased to have on-going, fantastic support from great partners including Film London, Arts Council of England, BFI, Cineworld Cinemas, Satyajit Ray Foundation, Watermans, Grange Hotels, Nehru Centre and new partners Western Union, Incredible !ndia, Tate Modern and ICA.

Our programming team has been scouring India and the Asian diaspora for a new high quality slate of films by some of the world's most innovative and challenging filmmakers. We present these on screen in June for your consideration.

We think of 'India' as a state of mind, with its huge spectrum of identities, its admirers, its neighbours and the vast number of people around the world who connect to it, including British Asians. LIFF'S heady cocktail of films are as unpredictable as the London summer, but we promise that whatever movie you decide to attend, you'll leave entertained, surprised and perhaps even a little shocked!
