September 6th to 15th
promoting black world cinema, celebrating diversity in film and television
This year’s bfm International Film Festival will run from September 6th to 15th. The festival is a 10-day celebration of black world cinema drawing together established international filmmakers, popular film stars, writers, directors, industry executives, emerging artists and new audiences from the UK and around the world. In addition to the film screenings there will also be panel discussions and seminars with industry experts.
In less than four years the Festival has screened over 200 independent features, documentary, short and animation film titles from over 20 countries. It has held 33 UK premieres, and 12 world and European premieres. British tours have taken screenings to Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, with international tours reaching Amsterdam, Philadelphia and New York.
Over 20,000 people have enjoyed the diversity of black world cinema by attending London, regional and international screenings.
Taking center stage in this year’s festival programming will be the inaugural bfm Film and Television Awards, the first of what will be an annual celebration of achievement in black world cinema and television. It will take place in the Great Room of Le Meridien, Grosvenor House, Park Lane, on September 9th 2002.
Hosted by Brenda Emmanus, the bfm Awards ceremony will be attended by the cream of black British film and TV talent, as well as black stars from across the globe. A panel of industry insiders judging eleven of the awards will recognise both established and emerging talent in film and television. Five further categories will be decided by public vote.
Emphatically not just another awards ceremony, the aim of this year’s bfm Awards ceremony will not only be to create a higher profile for existing talent, and raise that of rising stars, but through a newly-established bursary scheme it will allow the talent of the future to access training courses at some of the world’s most prestigious film and TV institutions.
The 2002 Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to celebrated Hollywood actor, Pam Grier. Past recipients of bfm IFF Honorary Awards include Horace Ove (’99), Sidney Poitier (’00) and Harry Belafonte (’01).
A proportion of revenue from the ceremony will be donated to the Post-Adoption Centre, a UK-based charity providing advice, counselling and support to adopted people, adoptive families and birth relatives.
With this year’s festival programming being presented in London, Birmingham and Reading the bfm International Film Festival continually strives to bring the delights of black world cinema to new audiences across the UK.

promoting black world cinema, celebrating diversity in film and television
This year’s bfm International Film Festival will run from September 6th to 15th. The festival is a 10-day celebration of black world cinema drawing together established international filmmakers, popular film stars, writers, directors, industry executives, emerging artists and new audiences from the UK and around the world. In addition to the film screenings there will also be panel discussions and seminars with industry experts.
In less than four years the Festival has screened over 200 independent features, documentary, short and animation film titles from over 20 countries. It has held 33 UK premieres, and 12 world and European premieres. British tours have taken screenings to Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, with international tours reaching Amsterdam, Philadelphia and New York.
Over 20,000 people have enjoyed the diversity of black world cinema by attending London, regional and international screenings.
Taking center stage in this year’s festival programming will be the inaugural bfm Film and Television Awards, the first of what will be an annual celebration of achievement in black world cinema and television. It will take place in the Great Room of Le Meridien, Grosvenor House, Park Lane, on September 9th 2002.
Hosted by Brenda Emmanus, the bfm Awards ceremony will be attended by the cream of black British film and TV talent, as well as black stars from across the globe. A panel of industry insiders judging eleven of the awards will recognise both established and emerging talent in film and television. Five further categories will be decided by public vote.
Emphatically not just another awards ceremony, the aim of this year’s bfm Awards ceremony will not only be to create a higher profile for existing talent, and raise that of rising stars, but through a newly-established bursary scheme it will allow the talent of the future to access training courses at some of the world’s most prestigious film and TV institutions.
The 2002 Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to celebrated Hollywood actor, Pam Grier. Past recipients of bfm IFF Honorary Awards include Horace Ove (’99), Sidney Poitier (’00) and Harry Belafonte (’01).
A proportion of revenue from the ceremony will be donated to the Post-Adoption Centre, a UK-based charity providing advice, counselling and support to adopted people, adoptive families and birth relatives.
With this year’s festival programming being presented in London, Birmingham and Reading the bfm International Film Festival continually strives to bring the delights of black world cinema to new audiences across the UK.
