Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival

Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival (BFMAF) is an international celebration of the art of film. With ambitious programming including film premieres, moving image installations and live performance, the annual Festival spans 12 locations across its walled, border-town home of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Established in 2005, the Festival is an Arts Council England National Portfolio organisation. Inaugurated with the vision to forever enrich lives through the power of film, BFMAF develops new territories in which to flex our emotional and intellectual muscles. Commissioning and exhibiting filmmakers and visual artists' work, initiating collaboration and providing a resource to local communities, BFMAF is a festival sans frontières. "A town like Berwick, with its independent, edge of England mindset, is a good place for a festival that eschews the easy route when the awkward one looks so much more interesting. " Chris Sharratt, A-N news, September 2015. Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival 2016: Wednesday 21st - Sunday 25th September 20162016's festival theme is X. X - the 24th letter in the Latin alphabet, is at once loaded with meaning and on the other hand vacant for possibility. It's a marker for place but also an independent and indefinable variable. It's that certain je ne sais quoi in talent or great art. Though sometimes a marker for censorship or exclusion, X is also at the heart of film's potential to express complex subjects and emotions. The Festival Director is Peter Taylor.
