The Barbados Independent Film Festival enlightens the work of filmmakers, producers and actors from around the world by providing a platform for independent films that embrace the power of storytelling to inform, inspire and entertain.
BIFF programmes feature length narrative (drama, comedy, sci-fi), documentary and short films that celebrate resilience and humankind’s capacity to overcome adversity. We give special recognition to thought-provoking films that inspire viewers to take action for a better tomorrow. The Festival also screens ocean-themed environmental and adventure shorts at our “Shorts on the Beach” screening, which is followed by the Final Festival Feature and beach party on the closing night.
