ALL ABOUT

LESFF is celebrating the best year in movies - 25 years later with 3 special event screenings during the 2024 Festival May 2-6th. Stay tuned for announcements on dates, times, and tickets on sale.

Along with its usual array of exclusive feature film premieres, specialty short showcases, industry panels, and parties, this year’s festival will celebrate the 25th Anniversary of 1999 - the Greatest Year of Movies - Ever! with special screenings of Cruel Intentions, But I'm A Cheerleader and American Movie joined by special guests and exclusive experiences. Full programming to be announced soon.

“1999 was the year when indie filmmakers made a huge splash at the box office - where amateurs became auteurs, and Hollywood was being pushed to new limits. The Matrix, Office Space, Fight Club, Being John Malkovich, Cruel Intentions, American Pie, The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project - there are so many films that made their stamp on film history. 25 years later, we want to not only celebrate those daring filmmakers but also examine how they shaped the movies, and the film industry, of today.”
