Welcome
Welcome to the first Lancashire International Film Festival. These two days of films, performances, workshops, masterclasses and conferences are here to introduce the world to the fantastic students and professionals we have working at UCLan and to open our doors to the city, the county and the world beyond.
LIFE – our first year breathes life for students, at work, at the groovalicious Cinematopia, in Car Parks, on a local football field, in the media, in factories, about a girl, gets Splintered, strange and at… The Media Factory.

All tickets are free and there is good food and a licensed bar area to sit back and relax inbetween shows. We also have free on-site car parking.
We invite you to enjoy the films, the food and the opportunity to share time and space with other film lovers, makers, writers and creators.
