BIFF History
The story of the Bermuda International Film Festival is one of steady growth and development. Identifying a passion for independent art house films in Bermuda, we launched the festival in 1997, screening 22 films in two theatres over seven days.
Today, we screen between 65 and 75 films in four theatres and have been recognised by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a Qualifying Festival for the Short Film Academy Award.

In addition to our March festival of international cinema, we present programmes of the BIFF Film Academy. These include the school screenings programmes during the March festival and, again, in October, as well as eight weeks of film production summer camps for kids ages 7-16 and, new in 2010, filmmaking labs.
We also present the monthly BIFF Film Series screenings for independent film fans.
We were delighted to assist the Bermuda Department of Tourism with a new event, Movies on the Beach, during the summer of 2006. The event attracted more than 8,000 film fans to Warwick Long Bay over four nights.
