Third London Indian Film Festival in London From June 20-July 3

A selection of cutting edge films from some of India and the UK's hottest independent talents will be screened at the third London Indian Film Festival (LIFF) to be held in London from June 20 to July 3.

Going way beyond Bollywood, these are films that challenge, shock, generate debate and present a more realistic view of India today in all its colour and diversity, the organizers said last night.

The festival, which is supported by Film London, will stretch city wide, opening in the West End at the Cineworld Haymarket and continuing at BFI (British Film Institute) Southbank Watermans, Cineworld Trocadero, Feltham, Wood Green, Wandsworth, the O2 and ICA.

For the first time the festival is also teaming up with Tate Modern to present a rare showcase in Indian experimental film curated from Bangalore.

The festival also has films and events for a wide range of audiences and includes industry events at BAFTA, exploring India/UK co-production and specially commissioned music and performance pieces.
