Bradford International Film Festival

Bradford International Film Festival (BradIFF) celebrates short films from Bradford Filmmakers alongside those from filmmakers nationally and internationally.

Thanks to its long history of filmmaking and central location for film and television which continues to this day, Bradford became the first UNESCO City of Film in 2009. At the dawn of Bradford City of Culture 2025 there is no better time to bring an international film festival to the city.

BradIFF will take place from the 22nd to the 27th of October 2024 at community venues across the Bradford district with an awards ceremony celebration at The Light Cinema in the city centre on Sunday 27th October. The community locations will allow people to see independent films on their doorstep and celebrate films by local filmmakers screening alongside films from further afield. The awards ceremony in the city centre at the end of the week will provide an opportunity to champion the best of Bradford filmmaking and host visiting filmmakers in our proud city.
