At BIAFF you can:
IAC regions take turns hosting BIAFF and each adds its distinctive touches. The core event starts on a Friday evening and runs through to late Sunday afternoon. On Friday and Saturday there may be four or more "mini-cinemas" running at once and each showing different fascinating programmes of top films and runners-up. On Saturday night a gala banquet offers a chance to get to know other delegates and to recognise the achievements of outstanding people in the amateur film movement by awarding Fellowships. On Sunday we come together in one large hall for the screening of the major award-winning films and presentation of prizes. Most regions also organise an interesting programme of excursions and entertainments starting on the preceding Thursday afternoon and running through Friday. Where possible the event takes place in a single building - often a large old-style hotel - so that delegates can mix and mingle between shows. Over the years the festival's name has changed. For many years it always took place in the capital and was called the LIAFF (London International ...). Then it became Movie nnnn (where nnn was the year).
