ABOUT THE BIIFF
global cinema celebration

BRAZILIAN INDEPENDENT INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (BIIFF) is an annual film festival that celebrates the art of filmmaking on an international stage. This unique and inclusive event will be held in Dublin, Ireland, organized by STUDIOS NMP, bringing together filmmakers from all around the world. BIIFF aims to showcase global talent in cinematography, providing a platform for both emerging and established filmmakers to share their work and exchange creative ideas. The festival will embrace diversity, cultural richness, and ethical storytelling, fostering a vibrant global film community.

BIIFF was created by Nina Mendes, with the intention of expanding talent in all areas of cinematography worldwide, allowing both amateur and professional filmmakers to have a space to develop and showcase their work, without the excessive costs that the cinematographic industry demands in many countries.
