Leeds Young Film Festival
Welcome to Leeds Young Film Festival!
LYFF is an annual celebration of cinema for children and families. The festival features a curated selection of family-friendly feature and short films, alongside workshops, masterclasses, and hands-on filmmaking activities to inspire and develop young talent. LYFF also promotes film education year-round through collaborations with schools and community organisations.
Movie Club
In collaboration with Screen Yorkshire, Movie Club is an opportunity for young film enthusiasts to join us for a hands-on adventure through the entire-filmmaking process! At LYFF 2024, Movie Club days included a feature film and three workshops - movie moodboard-making, a film set experience with lights, cameras, costumes and action and a post-production session, learning editing tips and tricks.
Screenings At Hyde Park Picture House
As part of LYFF 2025 we will be showing a selection of family-friendly feature films at the beautiful Hyde Park Picture House. Keep an eye on our social media or sign up to our mailing list for more updates about next year's festival.
VR Cinema
At this year's festival, we teamed up with StoryFutures to deliver Leeds Young Film VR Cinema - the UK’s only VR experience for children and families, including a range of immersive films, available for free! We also took VR expeirences on tour around Leeds this summer at Breeze in the Park.
LYFF is hitting the road with an exciting collection of short films from around the globe that are perfect for sparking young imaginations across the North of England. Get ready for a lineup of nature, animal and science themed short films perfect for kids, showing at our fantastic partner venues!
