NAME OF FESTIVAL: Bermuda International Film Festival (BIFF)
SINCE: 1997
WHERE: Hamilton, Bermuda, Caribbean
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Bermuda International Film Festival (BIFF) may not be as big as Sundance or Cannes but, what it lacks in size, it makes up for in spirit. BIFF launched in 1997 to advance the love of independent film from around the world in Bermuda and to encourage and inspire young Bermudians to capture their very special narrative through a camera lens. It has welcomed numerous celebrities and stars of the film world over the years, including Michael Douglas, Earl Cameron, Willem Defoe and Richard Dreyfuss. While there are more than 1,000 film festivals worldwide, only 62 are Academy Award qualifying festivals and BIFF is one for the Short Film (Live Action) Oscar. Since becoming a qualifying festival in 2004, two of our Shorts Award winners have gone on to win: Wasp (2005) and Toyland (2009).
