LYFF on Tour

Screen our curated collection of short films to spark imaginations and inspire young audiences, with our free LYFF on Tour short film packages. 

The Leeds Young Film Festival (LYFF) is hitting the road with a carefully curated collection of short films from around the globe!

Whether you’re a community space, cinema, school, arts venue or other organisation - our short film package is simple to screen no matter your available technology. Best of all, it’s free of charge and can be shown multiple times, making it an accessible and engaging way to delight audiences of all ages. Let’s work together to bring this creative collection of short films to your space and create unforgettable experiences for children and families.

We currently have several film packages available including a festive Christmas collection, spooky Halloween packages and our fantastic year-round collection of inspiring shorts. Our short films are handpicked by Leeds Young Film Festival curators and are rated for all ages.  

Get in touch at leeds.film@leeds.gov.uk to learn more about our family friendly films or book a shorts package for your venue.

Filmmakers: Have a story to tell? We’re always on the lookout for fantastic short films to feature in future packages!
