The 20th Brisbane International Film Festival
Bring back, bring back the BIFF. Thankfully, the time has come again for the best kind of BIFF – the Brisbane International Film Festival.
Overview
Bring back, bring back the BIFF. Thankfully, the time has come again for the best kind of BIFF – the Brisbane International Film Festival.
I was exposed to the magic of international film during my last year of uni, but before that I was worried that the content and the context would be skewed because of language differences. How wrong I was! International films are so rewarding and teach you so much about other cultures you may not have been exposed to, not to mention allowing you to have one over all your mainstream movie-loving friends. This year BIFF will be using the Tribal Theatre as a venue for the last time due to its imminent closure, as well as the Palace Cinemas, so there's no escaping the incredible films that are on the program.
There are 11 days of local and world cinema as well as retrospectives, experimental work, animation, short films and documentaries, and some have even been screened at the Cannes and Sundance Film Festivals. And if you miss the old school drive-ins that Brisbane had so many of, you're in luck because BIFF have a drive-in movie theatre that is screening movies over 3 nights. Check out the massive and impressive program at the BIFF website, and make personal note of the tonne of movies you'll no doubt be dying to see.
