To add to everyone’s life the “Happiness of Creativity” and a higher form of Happiness- “Intellectual Happiness” (©MG), which gives one the serenity, stability, security & strength to face all that life throws one’s way.
In the current scenario of the yearlong COVID-19 pandemic which has had us all tremendously apprehensive, exhausted, traumatized and uncertain about everything in life or maybe even life itself, the ‘Oxygen of Happiness’ (©MG) needs to be maintained at a critical level.
LOGIHQ, a HAPPINESS enterprise, in keeping with its motto of ‘lifting people to a happier plane’, in January 2021 launched liHfe, a unique International HAPPINESS Film Festival, to generate the ‘Oxygen of Happiness’ in creators & audiences alike.
In February 2021, the United Nations (UN) declared 2021 as the “International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development”. The World Health Organization (WHO) stresses on the role of Arts & Creativity in healing and tackling Mental Health issues, especially those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
liHfe aims to be a meaningful, significant little drop in this ocean of efforts to help & heal society in facing & recovering from the aftermath of the coronavirus.
Inaugural Theme: “HAPPINESS & MENTAL HEALTH during COVID”
An International Film festival of extremely short films themed on HAPPINESS with quarterly winners competing for the Annual Awards and having Screenings at the Annual Awards Event.

Very communicative. Well worth the entry.
I like this festival. Thanks for the awards.
I was originally an actress who majored in acting in college, but I also studied film production. Last year, I made my film production and made my first director's debut and editing with a short drama scenario that I wrote myself.
I worked hard to make it, and I'm honored to have selected my work at such an excellent film festival. I will continue to make good movies in the future.
Stoked for the official selection for our music video “TANTO” at your LOGIHQ Happiness Film Festival. For the music band, the technical team and the participating actors it is an important achievement.
