This programme ‘From Absurd to Zany ’celebrates some of the funniest, weirdest and eye-poppingly nutty films that were entered this year including the latest films from returning LIAF favourites – Priit Tender, Nikita Diakur and Sophie Koko-Gate. Tales of a drunken ballet dancer and a one-legged butcher, a digital avatar attempting neck-breaking backflips, a creepy dwarf that keeps turning up and many more bonkers scenarios. Buckle up for a wild ride.
