Message from the Executive Director
Welcome to the 26th season of the Long Island Film Festival. It's been a remarkable journey that continues to evolve. When the Festival first took flight, it was a unique enterprise for the Long Island region. For its first ten annual editions, the LIFF reigned as the only one on the Island to give crucial public support to the area's student and professional filmmakers, and the accompanying skills and artistry of the production crews.
As the "Johnny Appleseed" of film festivals in the greater region, the Long Island Film Festival laid the groundwork for the eventual proliferation of an eclectic mix of festival creations and events that now grace the area.
Our history of showing unique indie film programs and special events which incorporate entertaining, inspirational and educational presentations to Long Island and a geographically expanding audience is long and varied. The collaboration and support from our partners, donors and sponsors is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Francis J. Leik
Executive Director
