We are now accepting submissions for the ninth BF Artist Film Festival!

The festival is open to national and international artists at any stage of their career. We welcome single channel film and video works from within the field of artists’ moving image; short narrative films, documentaries, experimental and essay films, animation and video collage. There are no restrictions on date or theme. Videos under 6 minutes are preferred but videos of up to 10 minutes will be considered.

The BF Artist Film Festival is a critical platform for artists working with moving image. Established in 2016, the festival programme is selected via an open call that occurs 3 times annually. As an independent project the festival offers multiple screening opportunities to selected artists, with an aim to reach new and diverse audiences. Since it’s inception, the BF Artist Film Festival has exhibited the work of over 125 artists and has partnered with multiple arts venues nationally and internationally.

The BF Artist Film Festival IX will be screened in June & July 2019 in Lancaster & London.

Deadline for entries is midnight Wednesday May 15th
