COMPETITIONS AND JURIES

Leeds International Film Festival proudly introduces the nine juries who will oversee this year’s competitions. Comprising filmmakers, programmers, writers and industry figures, they’ll judge the entries across our two feature and eight short film categories to determine the award winners for LIFF 2025.

The short film winners will be announced at a special event taking place in the historic setting of Howard Assembly Room on 8 November. The feature film competition winners will be announced on Sunday 16 November.
