Submissions for the 2025 festival are now open!
All films must be submitted through the FilmFreeway platform.
Following a fantastic debut in 2024, BradIFF returns—bigger, bolder, and more exciting than ever. This year, we continue our commitment to championing diverse voices in cinema, with a special spotlight on Global Majority filmmakers. Through dedicated screenings, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, we aim to amplify their stories and celebrate their contributions to the industry.
From October 28th to November 2nd, BradIFF will take over cultural venues across the city, featuring an inspiring lineup of films, special events, and industry discussions. The festival will culminate in our awards ceremony, honouring the best in local and international filmmaking, alongside an industry day designed to bring creatives together and spark new collaborations.
