Since 2007 the LIDF has worked to ensure that London is host to exciting, diverse, challenging and inspiring films from every corner of the world. The LIDF is committed to providing a platform for international documentaries and their directors. It does this by working with globally recognised partners and venues, such as the British Museum, the Barbican Centre, and the Royal Society of the Arts on a year-round programme of screenings and other events that includes the 10-day London International Documentary Festival.
The LIDF’s ongoing commitment to what it calls ‘Conversations in Film’ creates a unique kind of film festival. The films within LIDF are the starting point for a series of programmed ‘conversations’ – panel discussions and workshops – that bring diverse audiences together to go beyond the films themselves in order to engage with social, cultural and political issues in the company of policy makers, academics, journalists and other cultural commentators
Having celebrated its third year the LIDF is now looking forward to working with new partners and presenting another feast of film and debate in April / May 2010.

“The Godmother” is a feature documentary that takes an intimate look at the life of Fred Gorski a.k.a. Rain Storm and his cosmetic gender transformation salon Fairplay. Located in suburban Staten Island, Fairplay offers men a safe haven where even the most unlikely crossdressers can express themselves without fear of reprisals.
A former Drag performer, licensed hairdresser and cosmetologist Rain founded Fairplay after the tragic loss of his long time partner left him heavily in debt and with his once thriving hair salon in financial ruin. Armed with left over wigs, beauty supplies and closets full of clothes Fairplay evolved from offering basic services to crafting full fantasy worlds.
The documentary film “The Godmother” offers a unique glimpse inside this world where men find relief from the demands of their everyday lives by donning extensive female accoutrements. Here the lines of gender and sexuality are blurred in absolute contrast to the surrounding status quo where gender is anything but fluid.

A biting satire on how obsessed our culture has become with reality television, Public Interest delves into the minds and actions of those who put these programs on the air, those who aspire to be on them, and ultimately, the American culture that has become obsessed with them. Looking not only at how crazy the phenomenon has become, but also how outrageous it could easily get, Public Interest is a 'must see' for anyone who loves OR hates reality television.
Director: Larisa Isaeva.
Questions of sex and physical copulation always excited mankind. In all centuries! In 20-th century the mankind has gone through so-called sexual revolution - free love, free feelings, free sex. Now, in 21 century, people were satiated with sex, a sensuality, a pornography and have thought up a new way of the protest: against sex in general! There was a new movement - movement of the asexuals! Sex destroys the person, speaks asexuals. Physical copulation stirs to spiritual development of the person, they approve. Whether they are right?
Musical comedy ANTISEX is the movie about it!. The statistics approves, that each 100-th inhabitant of the Earth - asexual! Also it is very serious problem of that time in which we live! But... The Mankind being dared will leave the complexes and lacks! We have tried to consider very serious problem of our epoch through a comedy.
This is the not boring story about sexual disfunction, not the cool erotic movie. This is the funniest fairy tale about love! The love story between ordinary man and not so ordinary woman… She’s not sexless – she’s just asexual. It is ASEXUALITY! It’s just a movement! And you probably heard about it before! But! Never like that! The concept is: sex could destroy your individuality! But the man-hero will find the way how to fight for his love! And of course: Love always wins! Lot’s of music, dances, sudden turning-points…
