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.
