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 more than 70 films over nine days 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 also present the BIFF Kids Children’s Film Festival. Held annually in October, BIFF Kids has become a popular fixture on the island’s arts calendar for our younger film buffs.
We also present the monthly BIFF Film Series screenings, and each summer our BIFF Film Academy presents eight weeks of film production camps for kids ages 7-16.
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.
