Lucknow International Film Festival (LIFF) is proud to announce its first edition in the heart of Uttar Pradesh’s cultural capital—Lucknow. Known for its tehzeeb, timeless heritage, and artistic spirit, Lucknow has always been a cradle for poetry, literature, music, and performance. Now, the city opens its arms to cinema, bringing together filmmakers, storytellers, and audiences under one platform.
LIFF aims to unite filmmakers from across languages, regions, and cultures, creating a vibrant space for collaboration, appreciation, and the exchange of powerful stories. Our mission is to showcase cinema that reflects the spirit of our times and carries messages that resonate across borders.
As a writer, producer, director, and distributor, I understand the aspirations of emerging talent. LIFF is our effort to provide a platform where these voices can be seen, heard, and celebrated. More than just a festival of films, LIFF is the beginning of a community—nurturing creativity, sparking opportunities, and shaping the future of cinema from the city of Nawabs.
