The British Independent Film Festival (BIFF) is an annual independent film festival held in the United Kingdom, founded in 2010. It is one of four events hosted by the Film Festival Guild and aims to showcase independent films globally, with a particular emphasis on British talent. The festival has been held in various locations across England, including Bournemouth, Poole, and Bury St Edmunds, but its roots are in London, often screening at Cineworld in Leicester Square. BIFF has gained a reputation for supporting emerging talent in the film industry and includes an awards ceremony with categories such as Best Feature Film, Best Short, and Best Director.
