IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

More may be available in time, but if the film makers are putting them into other festivals they tend not to have their whole film online ... indeed some festivals insist on that.

I have just posted a collection of films from the 2025 BIAFF which are available online:

Please let me know of any problems and of any more films accessible through YouTube or Vimeo etc.

Were any of you on the recent IAC show evening when they were "Zoom bombed"?

Is that going to be a risk for long-distance internet talks?

We will all miss you at BIAFF, Willy. We wish you the best result on 9th May. Don't forget that you can see four days of BIAFF online for free - no ETA, no passport, no ticket needed. 21st - 24th April there will be BIAFF selections online in the evening. The BIAFF timetable of shows is at https://w...

Am I the only person being confused about ordering BIAFF tickets? I hoped for at least a couple of "package deals": (a) all the films (b) all the films plus the dinner & chips. No. Each part has to be separately booked and the Saturday dinner proclaims "AWARDS" but means the ...

So far not much comment on the results overall. Howard Smith who is a regular on Facebook seems generally satisfied with his results: 5 films with 4* rating and one with 3* rating. Robin Slater: "Honoured to be selected for the British International Amateur Film Festival, together with the Five...

I agree that there is nothing like a live Tom performance!

In general we still seem to be suffering from the long-term effects of lockdown. Too many clubs are meeting only or sometimes on Zoom.

The full star ratings are now available on

See how your friends and rivals were rated ...

Every BIAFF - indeed every competition - stirs up debate.
Let us know if your work was rated fairly or unfairly.
Was there a comment that delighted or irked you?

Almost all entrants should have been sent their results by the end of Saturday 1st March ...

Happy New Year to all. Even down South we had a tiny touch of snow last night. The official UNICA 2025 website is now open. Do take a look at: https://unica.movie/2025 with some great photos and plenty of information. The challenge now is to reach out to as many UK film makers as possible and encour...

That's why your films are always worth watching ... you give a lot of thought to the mechanics of telling the story with whatever technology you use.

Not happened at Watterson Towers ... so far at least. I am always reluctant to go to very recent technology - and that reluctance is greater the older I get! So far my experiences with VR have not been impressive. But hurrah for enthusiasm like yours, Geoff. Our hobby is driven by enthusiasts who ar...

Time is tight for these evenings ... and people are wary of even suggesting any criticism, in order not to offend.
