Support BIFA

Founded in 1998, we have been working at the heart of the industry to nurture emerging talent, promote fair practice, and develop a broader, more inclusive audience for British independent film for over 25 years. 

“It feels so great that BIFA is so admired and continues to push, push, push, because independent film is where people break through, it’s where women, minority groups, or just groups that are ignored, manage to get their voices out. Independent film will always be at the forefront of change, and it’s fantastic.” – Morfydd Clark, Actor

We deliver a year-round programme to champion and support independent film and create a more inclusive creative society.  

As a Community Interest Company, 100% of our profits are reinvested to achieve our social purpose, and we rely on the generous support of partners, donors and funders to enable us to create a national impact. 

If you believe in the power of independent film to inspire and empower people, please consider supporting our work so that we can continue to create the conditions in which British independent film and filmmakers can thrive. 

Here’s a bit more about our work and how you can get involved:

Any donation, big or small, could make a huge difference to our work: 

• £1000 will help sustain our Springboard programme, funding workshops for emerging filmmakers
• £500 will help support our programme for new performers, enabling us to run this vital programme again in 2024 to support another group of young actors as they emerge into the spotlight
• £200 will pay for five funded places on our Unconscious Bias Training, creating a more inclusive and diverse sector. 
• £50 will help us to reach out nationwide to share our passion for independent film with young people across the UK
