Great picture, all three of you look so happy, and as you say the sunshine and the blossom really set the picture off.
I have now read all this thread and my view is the modern environment of increasing video platforms on the internet it is amazing what BIAFF has been able to achieve. The fact that many of the IAC regions with their film festivals are struggling bears witness to the fact that running film festivals is not easy. The amount of effort people, especially David Newman put into the festival is commendable. I would suggest that as long as BIAFF can keep going it should do so without too much change, the films entered could do the changing as trends change, and there is nothing stopping any sort of film being entered - if the filmmaker believes in the film they have made then the star rating could be peripheral, it still has the opportunity to get a bit of extra publicity
BIAFF is only part of the IAC and I'm sure there is opportunity for anyone including myself or Jameela to explore any initiatives.
