Lift-Off Sessions is designed to be the entry into the Lift-Off Global Network. Sessions is a monthly online showcase dedicated to screening a collection of globally submitted indie shorts and features (of all genres) from new voices to our global audiences.
Lift-Off Sessions isn't about selecting the best possible shorts or features from the films submitted to us; it is about providing a screening opportunity for everyone. An option we hope highlights and educates each month.
With startling data on declining audience figures for indie films, we decided to extend our resources to cater to all with an all-encompassing and welcoming platform where everyone can see the type of work and varying elements from as many projects as possible.
All selections will get an invaluable opportunity to engage with a wide range of contemporaries' work while supporting indie film and its continued success.
You'll find free content on our YouTube Channel, such as live workshops, interviews with filmmakers, news updates, and more. Subscribe!
