What to Expect

BIFF in this fifth edition will screen over ninety (100) movies within the period of the festival. These movies will inform, entertain and educate the audience in line with our theme in order to produce a positive result.

In as much as BIFF is all about film, we are introducing fashion because fashion has become an integral part of every celebrated individual. It is believed that celebrities are the mirror of the society, in other words, everybody wants to dress like the celebrities therefore we are introducing this to bring to our footsteps what is trendy in the fashion world and also to spice up the event.

BIFF in this edition aim to use this festival as a channel to have master classes where professionals and renowned filmmakers will be speaking on vital topic to enhance the film industry.

In every field of work-when persons are awarded for their excellent performances, it encourages them to do more and also inspire the upcoming ones and those intending to hope of someday getting the height of being awarded. Likewise, BIFF propose to award those who have done marvelously well in the film industry all over Africa so that our indigenous film makers will be inspired and aim at someday being awarded too.

Bayelsa is endowed with so many beautiful cultural activities that are hidden from most persons especially outside Nigeria. BIFF will use this medium to showcase our various traditional performances and their aesthetics to our guests and the general audience and by so doing projecting our culture to the world at large.

Music and comedy are parts of drama that one cannot dispute but in this case we propose to infuse these two sections of the entertainment industry to spice up the festival, making our guests and audience to have a fun filled festival and also to encourage and inspire our upcoming artists by giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents.
