The London Independent Film Festival (LIFF) is a British film festival dedicated to showcasing independent cinema, particularly focusing on first- and second-time filmmakers working with limited budgets. Founded in 2004 by Erich Schultz, the festival typically takes place annually in April at the Genesis Cinema in London. It offers a platform for over 100 films, includes industry events, a screenplay competition, and a distribution fair, aiming to advance the careers of emerging filmmakers. Time Out Magazine has recognized LIFF as "a treasure trove of undiscovered cinematic gems, one of Europe's top indie film fests."
