Beeston Film Festival has qualified for accreditation by the British Independent Film Awards which acknowledges the role it plays in supporting British short films. The festival, now in its 8th year, took place in The Arc Cinema Beeston earlier this month bringing a diverse collection of short films to the silver screen.
The BIFA status will mean that filmmakers can now be considered for a British Short Film Award if they submit their work to the festival. Submissions for the festival traditionally open in May and are reviewed until late Autumn by a team of local and international volunteers.
The achievement will also mean that the festival will attract new and exciting filmmakers from all over the world. Beeston Film Festival already has an international audience with over 700 submissions from filmmakers in Peru, Iceland, America and Iran.
