History
LISFF Wiz-Art is an annual International Short Film Festival, which takes place in Lviv. The festival was started by art formation Wiz-Art, which was founded in 2008.
For every event, the team chooses a new theme, which is relevant for our society, as well as works on the original visual design.
The festival screens more than 100 brand new films every year. Lviv International Short Film Festival is a powerful cultural and educational platform that unites Ukrainian and foreign filmmakers and introduces Ukrainian audience with the experience of professionals in the field.
Mission
The main goal of Wiz-Art is to develop cinema at both local and countrywide level as well as promote Ukrainian films within European and global contexts. We believe that a high-quality cultural product causes positive change and develops society.
We search for films that help to develop tastes and expand worldviews – both ours and our audiences’. Our content is made up of fresh, clever, high-quality and outstanding movies from around the world.
We unite proactive and ambitious people who do not appreciate fast food cinema. Our audience consists of people who want to know more, understand the world better and make their own conclusions.
We stand firm on our liberal civil position which is reflected in our manifesto. We cannot tolerate any kind of discrimination and inequality, and we do not work and cooperate with people or organizations that promote ideas of nationalism, racism, homophobia, ageism or lookism.
