About
Braziers International Film Festival (BIFF) is an annual three day independent film festival held at Braziers Park in Oxfordshire, UK. Programmed by filmmakers, the festival features several curated programmes of international films, plus special focus screenings, discussions and events. Screened inside Braziers’ historic 17th century barn, the diverse film programmes include documentary, animation, fiction and contemporary artists’ film & video. The films are selected from an open call by a team of artist-filmmakers, who run the festival as a not-for-profit collective, on behalf of Braziers Park, the UK's longest-running 'intentional community' and educational charity. Each programme screening is followed by group discussion and Q&A with attending film-makers, who are invited to Braziers. Special Focus screenings and events have included artist-filmmakers Jumana Manna, Julia Parks, Amy Cutler, Bea Haut, Karel Doing, Mary Stark & David Chatton Barker (Folklore Tapes / Analogue Farm), and BEEF (Bristol Experimental Expanded Film). With an extensive eco-campsite, festival-goers can enjoy the peaceful 57 acres of rural grounds at Braziers Park, including kitchen gardens, orchards, woodlands, meadows, an eco campsite, and the Georgian gothic charms of Braziers Park house.
