Bournemouth International Film Festival

Aim: Bournemouth International Film Festival (BIFF) is a not-for-profit celebration of bold independent storytelling and emerging talent.

Join Us at BIFF 2025 – A Festival Where Stories Begin

Bournemouth International Film Festival (BIFF). 

Support the Storytellers of Tomorrow

BIFF is a not-for-profit celebration of bold independent storytelling and emerging talent.
We’re here to champion first-time filmmakers, elevate underrepresented voices, and bring exciting, inclusive film culture to Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole, not just during the festival, but through year-round community projects.

We’re turning to our community, film lovers, creatives, local champions, and culture supporters — to help us raise the funds we need to make BIFF2025 a reality.
This isn’t just about putting on a great event. It’s about building a platform that empowers new talent and strengthens the creative fabric of our region.

We rely on donations, not big commercial backing, to stay true to our mission.
Your support means we can keep this festival alive and growing.
