Re: Manifesto for Change
The BIAFF Rules were revamped some years ago, partly in response to Ned's argument that what matters is whether or not a film was made with the intention of making money. The current rule is: This competition is for films made by individuals or groups for pleasure and not for commercial gain. The fo...

BIAFF 2021 - should we even hope?
Officially BIAFF 2021 is scheduled for Birmingham on 16-18th April 2021 - with an online version as the standby option. Given the state of things now (at the end of 2020) does anyone think it likely we will meet in person then? If not would it be better to postpone - as we did last year - in the hop...

Re: Sad news: RIP Reg Lancaster
One of my favourite memories is of projecting for a BIAFF judging panel when one of those "difficult" films was watched. Reg's first reaction was negative, but then he went into a monologue where he argued with himself and over a couple of minutes talked himself round into admiring the wor...

Sad news: RIP Reg Lancaster
I heard today that Reg Lancaster has passed away. He was a great photographer, a fine film maker, an inspiring club leader and a fine leader of IAC. He was born in Manchester in '35, and had been a film maker since 1970. He served on many juries at local, regional and national festivals in Britain, ...

Re: BIAFF ONLINE ...
Willy - we can only link to films if their authors have put the, online at a site like YouTube or Vimeo. I do not think you have put any of your films online. I certainly cannot see "His Royal Highland Laddie" anywhere. Put it online and we will happily link to it. What some people - poss...

Re: BIAFF ONLINE ...
This page will officially go live soon - but you can use it right now to see many of the films: https://www.biaff.org.uk/2020-watch-on-line.html Sadly some of the top films are not yet available online, presumably because they are being entered in other festivals. But you do get Best British Best Br...

Richard has a talent for improvising ways to film himself, when necessary. Take a look at 'Holding Back the Tide' on vimeo.com/455040840.

Re: AGM Zoom meeting
Council Minutes are regarded as confidential. (I tried many years ago to get them published.) My second attempt was to get someone on Council to write reports on the meetings, which could avoid any truly confidential matters. That happened for a time, but the articles rather missed the point and wer...
