Leander Film Festival

Leander, United States


In the heart of Texas, the Leander Film Festival (LFF) is a four-day annual industry event designed for independent filmmakers who want more than just applause - they want a career. Modeled after the world-class hospitality of Sonoma and Sedona but injected with the transactional marketplace energy of Sundance and Berlin, LFF bridges the gap between screenwriters and producers. As a Film Friendly Texas Certified Community and home to the historic Bagdad Cemetery - the unforgettable opening location for the 1974 horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre [Bagdad Cemetery] and a featured anchor on the Texas Film Commission's Thrills and Chills Film Trail - Leander is the ultimate destination to make the connections for your next film project. We believe filmmakers should leave a festival with three things: unforgettable memories, an elite network, and business deals.
