The Leiden Essay Film Festival marks a first for the Netherlands. Never before has there been a public event entirely dedicated to essay films. This brand-new festival will take place at Kijkhuis and Museum De Lakenhal.
At LEFF, more than 40 essay films, features and shorts, from over 20 countries worldwide can be seen. Recent productions by young and emerging filmmakers, as well as prominent classics by directors such as Chris Marker, Chantal Akerman, Harun Farocki, and Johan van der Keuken.
What is an essay film?
It is an adventurous and exploratory film genre practiced by both artists and scholars. Filmmakers are guided by their personal curiosity to examine phenomena and events, presenting them in a reflective, often idiosyncratic way.
