“Our eleventh annual festival offers a tightly curated line-up of films that have not previously shown in Western New York. Our line-up consists of films that have previously screened at Sundance, TIFF, SXSW and Cannes, alongside stellar local filmmaking and other dynamic discoveries made by our staff” said Interim Executive Director John J. Fink “This year BIFF offers something for everyone from the empowering message at the core of Ali Weinstein’s wonderful documentary Mermaids to Kevin Tent’s hilarious Crash Pad starring Domhnall Gleeson and Thomas Haden Church as unlikely roommates - and of course a special presentation of Marshall, a historic production for the region“ said Festival Director Tilke Hill.
