L’Age d’Or International Art-house Film Festival (LIAFF) is a monthly live screening film festival, which takes place in the cultural capital of India. At this uncertain time of COVID-19, the health and safety of you all are of utmost importance and concern to us. Hope you and your families are well. We wish you all safe and good health. Stay safe. Stay indoors and maintain a social distance. The monthly live screenings take place at the end of each month at the below mentioned venue. ROTARY SADAN 94/2 Chowringhee Road, Kolkata 700 020, West Bengal, India Tel: +91( 33) 2223-8787 LIAFF is dedicated to showcasing innovative and exciting works by risk-taking filmmakers from around the world, who put their heart and soul to tell a story. We feel they should have the chance to show their works to a crowd, even if the budget is small or no recognizable name is involved. Aesthetically and thematically varied, these films mark the arrival of exciting new directing talents. We welcome filmmakers who explore and develop new filmmaking conventions in their quest to realize their visions effectively on a limited budget. MISSION: The sole purpose of LIAFF is to develop a film culture that inspires and brings together cross-cultural innovations that enrich people lives with entertainment and services that inform, educate and entertain. With the help of digital media technology and crowdfunding, it is now getting easier for anyone to just take up a camera and make a film. The most important ingredients in the mix are finding your own voice, the creative ideas, and mastering the skills necessary to make a captivating experience. However, with the increasing number of works being produced and the reshaping of cinema and major film festivals, it is now much harder to connect a live audience to non-mainstream art-house films. At LIAFF, we are committed to looking at every entry we received to select only those that represent the LIAFF spirit well. We love the yin and yang of topics - from edgier; pull no punches stuff to those concerning humanities and the environment. For the first time, L’Age d’Or International Art-house Film Festival will have its own sector of awards for artistic activism. Artistic activism is a creative force that educates us, influences our notions about human relationships, and brings about social change. We will celebrate artists that have used their passion for activism by paying tribute to them and publicizing their art. Furthermore, we will be giving lifetime awards to artists who have contributed to social justice and activism. For our 2021 festival, we shall be accepting all films of all lengths and genres including Documentary, Narrative Feature, Experimental, Religious, Animation, Comedy, Horror, Science Fiction, Suspense, and all genres of Music Videos and LGBT films. There will be an announcement for the prestigious PIGEON D’OR AWARDS (the best of the best) winners every year. All the monthly winners from the yearlong all individual monthly seasons will be qualifying as nominees and contesting with each other in this process of selection to stand as the final Winner of the Winners. The list of these annual winners will be published on our Festival website.
