Save the date: Leiden Essay Film Festival (LEFF) 2026

LEFF 2026 will open on Saturday 19 September 2026 at Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden. The opening will be followed by three days of screenings and festival activities at Cinema Kijkhuis Leiden, bringing together essay film, artists’ cinema, and new encounters between film, art, and reflection.

More information about the programme will follow in the coming months — but for now, save the date.
