The Ladakh International Film Festival (LIFF) is an international film festival that is held annually in Ladakh, India. Inaugurated in 2012, it is the first international film festival to be held in Ladakh.[1][2] It is held in the Himalayan town of Leh,[3] the largest town in Ladakh,[4] at an altitude of more than 11,000 feet (3350 metres),[5] making it the highest-altitude film festival in the world.[6][7] A major theme of the festival is wildlife conservation.[6] In partnership with the Snow Leopard Conservancy India Trust, the festival offers the Snow Leopard Trophy for the most educational or inspiring film about an endangered species.[6]
The festival was organized by Kerala-based filmmaker Melwyn Williams Chirayath and his business associate Meghna Dubey, partners at Monasse Films.[4]
