LIFF Limited Editions are special screenings of a selection of films from our program. Unique experiences, created by a guest artist for that particular screening. So secretive that even we don’t know what is going to happen exactly. But we do know this: it will only happen once. So don’t miss it!
When the Light Breaks

A young couple’s future plans are cruelly interrupted by a tragic event. We experience the next 24 hours with Uma, who is confronted with love, friendship, grief, and the highs and lows of life. Director Rúnar Rúnarsson will be present at the festival.

Boys Go To Jupiter
Monday, October 14th – 21.45, Trianon 3.
