Many thanks to everyone who participated in this year\u2019s Manchester Lift-Off Film Festival. It was great to see so many filmmakers and film enthusiasts filling the screenings in support of both local and international indie films, despite the last minute venue changes.
\nThe judges’ votes have been counted and added to the audience’s feedback.
\nHuge congratulations to the filmmakers who screened with us, who all did themselves proud. A special well done to the following films.
