An exciting festival this year, lots of films from the UK and an emphasis on local film makers past and present. Plus the usual mix of animation, drama, documentary and one or two curiosities that defy categorisation. Thanks to everyone who submitted a film,
everyone who came to the festival and everyone who helped make LiFF a fantastic evening.
We would like to thank for their invaluable and welcome help:
Waggon and Horses & the Battye Family
All the filmmakers, past and present
Ashley, Ed, Gail, Jan, Shane, Tanya and Vanda - the selection committee
Lumen, Chris at Impossible Theatre, Sound by Russ Smith, Yorkshire Film Archive and the Cambridge 8mm festival
And everyone that got in touch about Vixen films: Roy Alders, Ted Belamy, Les Walker and Steve Woodcock.
