Bermuda international film festival

The Bermuda International Film Festival, or BIFF, was first introduced in 1997 with only 22 films screened over seven days in two of Hamilton's theaters. Since then, this festival has come a long way. This festival in Bermuda has received widespread recognition from all around the world, including from its own residents. The event is the qualifying festival for the Short Film Academy Award at present.

Aside from feature films, the festival also shows short films, documentary features, and narrative features. Separate awards are given for all of these categories. For the documentary and narrative categories, only those with new directors are screened. The short film competition, on the other hand, is open to all directors. The Audience Choice Award is given to the best feature-length film, and the directors whose films win it are invited to Bermuda the following year to serve on the jury.

The World Cinema Showcase, Opening Night and Closing Night, BIFF Kids (children's films), a Sidebar highlighting modern cinema from a leading filmmaking country, special presentations, midnight madness films, and a short series are all part of the International Film Festival. The festival has screened films that have gone on to win Academy Awards in the documentary and short film categories in recent years. The Bermuda International Film Festival has screened films from the Cannes, Berlin, Sundance, and Toronto film festivals, as well as European Film of the Year.
