London International Documentary Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The London International Documentary Festival (or LIDF) is an annual documentary film festival that takes place every March/April. The event is presented in association with the London Review of Books.
The festival first took place at the British Museum on 17 March 2007. [1] The festival is subtitled 'A Conversation in Film', and claims to distinguish itself on the discussions it organises to accompany screenings. [2] Such discussions often include intellectuals, filmmakers, journalists, politicians and representatives from charities, NGO’s and think-tanks.[3]
[edit] Notable events
On 28 March 2009 the festival screened a retrospective of British documentary filmmaker John Samson.[4][5] It was the first time his complete works were shown together.[6]
