What is Bournemouth International Film Festival?
The first-ever Bournemouth International Film Festival (BIFF) launches this October, targeting film fans, filmmakers, and screenwriters. The festival will showcase and celebrate films from both emerging talent and established filmmakers, while providing networking opportunities and workshops for those interested in the film industry.
Festival Highlights
As a not-for-profit cultural initiative, BIFF will screen a curated selection of national and international films submitted by filmmakers, including short and feature films, documentaries, and animation. Additionally, ticket holders can attend industry panels, creative workshops, networking events, and Q&As. The festival will conclude with a black-tie awards night and after-party on Saturday, 4th October, celebrating the best films at BIFF 2025, selected by a national judging panel of award-winning writers, directors, and producers.
Director’s Statement
Emma Estridge, Director of Mushroom Marketing & PR, said, “I am delighted to support the first international film festival in Bournemouth. The festival will showcase an expertly curated selection of brilliant national and international short films, feature films, and documentaries, while providing an invaluable selection of industry events. Bournemouth, together with its newly formed BCP Film Office, is building a growing reputation for its film links, from its stunning film locations and backdrops to an increasing number of reputable film and creative companies based in the area. It’s an exciting time for the festival to launch with all the talent we have here in Bournemouth, as well as showcasing talent from further afield, both nationally and internationally.”
Steve McCarten, Festival Director, added “In the creative ecosystem of Bournemouth, connections matter. And that’s why I’m thrilled to announce our strategic alliance with Mushroom Marketing & PR, a Bournemouth-based agency that’s been powering businesses with standout PR and marketing campaigns since 2004.”
