Join One of the World’s Leading IMDb-Qualifying Film Festivals!

Welcome to the Bristol Independent Film Festival (BIFF)—one of the UK’s fastest-growing and most dynamic platforms for global cinema!

Since our launch in 2017, BIFF has received submissions from over 160 countries, making us a truly international festival. Our screenings take place at the Bristol Megascreen, a 300-seat cinema, over a 3-day period, providing filmmakers with a premier venue to showcase their work to a large and engaged audience. Our mission is to support and celebrate filmmakers through diverse awards and industry recognition.

Why Submit to BIFF?

- A Thriving Community: BIFF fosters a creative space for filmmakers to connect, collaborate, and celebrate their craft.

- Networking Opportunities: Our networking booklets introduce winners to industry professionals, complete with contact details to encourage future collaborations. Additionally, we host exclusive networking sessions where all attending winners and nominees can connect in person, fostering valuable relationships and future collaborations.

- Awards and Recognition: We honor excellence with trophies, winner’s packages, and cash prizes to help fuel your next project.

- Global Exposure: BIFF offers filmmakers the opportunity to showcase their work to a global audience. We actively connect winning projects with distribution and production opportunities to ensure your film gets the recognition it deserves.

Audience Choice Award

New this year, we are excited to introduce the Audience Choice Award, allowing our festival-goers to cast their votes for their favorite film of the festival! This special recognition provides even more exposure and the chance to connect with an engaged and passionate audience.

Why Bristol?

Recognized by UNESCO as a “City of Film,” Bristol stands alongside global cultural hubs like Sydney, Rome, and Galway. As one of the city’s largest film festival, BIFF is committed to nurturing a vibrant hub for filmmakers, offering them a stage to shine.

We can’t wait to experience your work and celebrate film at our 8th annual edition of BIFF!

Prêmios em dinheiro: 2,500€

We only award the most exceptional filmmakers after a comprehensive 3-stage evaluation process. Our judges assess the quality of filmmaking, creativity, and storytelling ability in each submission. This thorough process ensures that only the most outstanding films make it to the final stages.

All selected nominees will be invited to our live screening in Bristol, providing a fantastic opportunity to connect with others in the industry.

All winners will receive the prestigious “winner” laurel, a hard copy certificate, and a special engraved “Bristol Film Festival” trophy, which will be presented at our live screening on Event Date. Winners and selected nominees who are unable to attend the event will be contacted by the BIFF team to arrange for the awards to be sent to the provided address.

All selected and winning nominees will be contacted by the BIFF team on the notification date for further information.
