We’re bringing MIF to your home, with weekly live broadcasts including exclusive premieres from our archives. Here’s what you can expect this week and head to what’s on for all the details : 

Festival in My House… And Yours – Wednesdays from 7.30pm 

Inspired by our long-running Festival in My House series, we’re inviting Manchester artists to create and present their own micro-international festivals in their homes – and then stream them for us and you online, live and for free.  

MIF Encounters – Thursdays from 12.30pm 

We can’t introduce you to our Festival artists in the flesh, but we can bring them into your homes via digital talks and archive discussions with some of our friends across the arts in Manchester and beyond.  

MIF Rewind – Fridays from 7:30pm 

We’ll be turning back the clock and streaming events from previous Festivals – in full and for free. 

Whether you prefer to get comfy on the sofa in front of the TV or watch on your phone as you scroll through Facebook, here’s how to find MIF Live on a number of devices and websites:
