The Leeds International Film Festival (LIFF) is showcasing a diverse selection of films from around the world this November. From classic Mexican cinema to contemporary short films, the festival provides a platform for film enthusiasts to explore various genres and cultures. The article highlights a screening of the 1962 Mexican classic 'The Exterminating Angel' alongside the 2006 short film 'Century City', focusing on the latter's narrative about a detective and a film director discussing a murder.
Leeds' vibrant cultural scene always has plenty on offer for locals and visitors, with concerts, festivals and more on offer in the city.
The short film kicked things off in my showing, with a narrative focused on a circular conversation between a Cape Town Detective and an American Film Director, about the murder of his daughter. Directed by Leeds-man Stuart Croft, who passed away in 2015, this is an excellent chance to view work by someone from the city itself on the big screen, as many of his other films are set to be seen at different showings at the festival.
After the end of the Second World War, Spain remained a dictatorship and the regime lasted until Franco's death in 1975, and the subsequent transition to democracy. As a result, Buñuel moved abroad, and settled in Mexico, gaining Mexican citizenship. This is only one film LIFF has to offer, and there is so much more to discover at the festival. Jean-Pierre Melville's 1967 film Le Samouraï, starring the recently deceased Alain Delon, is on show alongside another Stuart Croft film, Hit.
