Bournemouth International Film Festival (BIFF). A New Festival for a New Generation of Filmmakers
A springboard for bold storytelling and fearless new talent.
Join us in Bournemouth this October for two days of bold cinema, creative conversation, and a career-defining opportunity.
📍 Hilton Bournemouth | 🗓 9–10 October 2026
The theme of BIFF 2026 is Social Realism — Real Stories. Real Cinema.
This year, we celebrate films that tell the truth of lived experience — stories rooted in community, work, identity, and belonging. From the struggles to the small victories, BIFF 2026 shines a light on the beauty, humour, and humanity of everyday life.
