About the event: Braziers International Film Festival (BIFF) is an annual three-day independent film festival held at Braziers Park. The festival features several programmes of international films, including special focus programmes, installations, performances, and discussions. Screened inside Braziers’ historic 17th century barn, the programmes include documentary, animation, fiction and contemporary artists’ film & video. Curated by artist Nick Jordan, the films are selected from an open call by a team of artist-filmmakers, who run the festival as a not-for-profit collective, with proceeds going to Braziers Park. Screenings are followed by group discussion and Q&A with attending film-makers, who are invited to Braziers. Some of the artist-filmmakers who have screened at the festival in recent years include Rehab Nazzal, Maryam Tafakory, Jennet Thomas, Mike Hoolboom, Niina Lehtonen Braun, David Leister, Oreet Ashrey, Paul Tarragó, Claudia Claremi, and Carla Simón. Special-focus programmes and performances have included Jumana Manna, Julia Parks, Amy Cutler, Bea Haut, Karel Doing, Mary Stark & David Chatton Barker (Folklore Tapes), Vague Research Studios, and BEEF (Bristol Experimental Expanded Film). The full screening programme will be published closer to the date.
