The Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF) is an annual film festival held in Brisbane, Australia.[1] Organised by the Screen Culture unit at Screen Queensland, the festival has taken place since 1992, with the program including features, documentaries, shorts, indies, experimental efforts, retrospectives, late night thrillers, animation, and children's films. The festival has attracted more than 400,000 visitors across its history.[1] The festival was replaced by the Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival from 2014-2016[2][3] but has been revived in 2017[4] while the Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival has ceased operations.[5] In 2018, BIFF was held at Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA),[6] with screenings held across multiple venues.

The festival features events including the opening and closing night celebrations, special screenings, seminars, question and answer sessions, and awards ceremonies. As well as promoting local Australian content, BIFF includes films from around the globe.

The 27th edition of the festival will be held from 21 to 31 October, 2021. 103 films including opening film Leah Purcell's The Drover’s Wife: The Legend Of Molly Johnson and closing film Memoria by Apichatpong Weerasethakul will be screened in the festival.[7]

Events

In addition to the regular program, BIFF has synergies with Cine Sparks and the Queensland New Filmmakers Awards.

Cine Sparks, the Australian Film Festival for Young People was part of BIFF’s expansion in 2005, with a program of films, workshops and seminars for people under the age of 18. Cine Sparks is popular with school groups, with more than 10,000 students attending the various sessions. In 2011, Cine Sparks took place in October, as a prelude to BIFF.

The Queensland New Filmmakers Awards (QNFA) is the biggest industry sponsored new filmmaker competition in the country, recognising and encouraging the achievements of emerging Queensland filmmakers. The competition is aimed at rewarding the creative talents of Queensland short filmmakers, with 2011 marking its 25th year.
