The 24th Leeds International Film Festival has announced its full 2010 programme.
Taking place over 18 days across 10 venues, of which the Town Hall will be the centre of the action, the festival will screen over 110 feature films and 150 shorts from the 4th to 21st November 2010.
“The Film Festival offers a stunning blend of the old and the new, with the splendour of the Town Hall’s décor complimented by a brand new 12 by 5 metre screen and full digital surround sound, making this a truly state of the art venue. With an 800 person capacity, the astounding new screen and sound can be fully experienced for the first time from the newly-opened balcony seating.”
Amongst the films being shown at the festival is Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. Winner of the 2010 Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives is one of the most striking films of recent years. Suffering from kidney failure, Uncle Boonmee has chosen to spend his last days in a location of past lives and familiar ghosts.
Another highlight for the event will be the screening of the critically acclaimed animation A Town Called Panic.
