Conversations

The Intimacy of Strangers
Some of the screenings at the LIDF are accompanied by panel discussions. As the festival title suggest these ‘Conversations’ are integral to the event. Experts, film practitioners and other cultural commentators will reflect on the issues raised by the films and open up discussions with the audience. Additions and alterations may be made to the panels so check in regularly to see any updates.
