The British Independent Film Festival 2012

On the 11th and 12th May 2012 the FIlm Festival Guild is bringing its annual British Independent Film Festival to the EMPIRE cinema in Leicester Square. We have 14 films involved in the festival, screening over a period of two days, with BAFTA award winning directors, producers and actors involved.

The British Independent Film Festival is a festival run by independent filmmakers for independent filmmakers. It is organised by the Film Festival Guild and therefore has links to festivals around the world.

The Festival provides opportunities for independent filmmakers to have their films screened at great red carpet-style venues to a passionate audience of film professionals, film students, journalists and the general public.

The Festival aims to promote and support independent filmmaking.

There are a number of awards up for grabs at the Festival, including the prestigious British Lion Award for Achievement in Film, which is given to any member of cast or crew on a film who has shown excellent independent filmmaking quality of work and spirit.
