Liverpool Radical Documentary Film Festival 2013

Welcome to the Liverpool Radical Documentary Film Festival. The aim of the Liverpool Radical Documentary Film Festival is to bring radical films on social, political, cultural and ethical topics to new audiences, open up discussion and promote positive action. To do this we put on an annual radical documentary festival (established 2012) and related screenings/events at various points throughout the year. We believe that film screenings and moving-image events can be powerful ways of:

• raising awareness about issues that impact on our lives, communities and shared world
• provide a safe space in which these issues can be discussed
• provide opportunities for communities to come together to work as a team combat such issues

This year’s festival will run between 2nd November – 16th November 2013 (inclusive) and here are our events:
