Drawing in international film-makers, broadcasters, academics and a non-specialist audience, the RAI International Festival of Ethnographic Film is one of the leading global gatherings in the UK that celebrates critical film-making and discusses the relationships between film, visual culture, and the promotion of cultural diversity and inter-cultural dialogue. The festival includes film screenings, the awarding of film prizes, workshops and panel debates.

This is the festival's first visit to Leeds and we look forward to an exciting and successful week!
