Patrons

As an arts charity, we are most grateful for the generous support of our private donors, the BIFF Patrons.

These very special supporters recognise that BIFF is much more than an annual entertainment event, it delivers real cultural value to Bermuda:

  • Without BIFF, many of the independent films we screen would never be seen in Bermuda, let alone on the big screen.
  • BIFF brings in filmmakers, screenwriters, directors and other film industry heavweights and enthusiasts from all over the world for the annual festival who might otherwise never venture to these shores.
  • BIFF empowers and inspires local filmmaking talent, with its Film Academy events, including school screenings, screenwriting workshops, filmmaking labs, acting and production summer camps.
  • BIFF positions film to our island's youth as a learning tool made of gold. Film teaches us about other people, other places, history, the present, the future and everthing in between. Through moving pictures, we can learn about empathy, morality, creativity, and develop our personal skill set, as well as an understanding of how to live and play a meanigful role in our community.

As a token of our gratitute we offer our patrons, complimentary cinema tickets , access to our advance purchase box office and regular updates on how your money is being spent in delivering BIFF's many programmes and initiatives.
