Leeds International Film Festival 2026

The Leeds organiser gives 29 October–15 November as the planned dates of the 40th Leeds International Film Festival. It remains active throughout this research week.

Festival coverage can bring together programme information, filmmaker interviews and criticism rather than relying on a single promotional account. Different sources help explain the work, its context and the conversations it generates. Screening access, recorded discussions and trailers are separate formats, each with its own availability and territorial conditions for audiences. Some other listings show different dates; use the organiser's live programme before promoting a particular session or purchasing access.
