A Northumberland film festival has announced its full programme line-up ahead of its full return for the first time in three-and-a-half years.
The Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival (BFMAF) aims to champion films and filmmakers who push the boundaries of filmmaking. Though it's the eighteenth iteration of the festival, it is the first fully in person programme since 2019 with a programme of screening events and exhibitions across the town after an online-only festival in 2020 and a hybrid in 2021.
The 2023 programme includes seven world premieres, three international premieres, two European premieres and 19 UK premieres, including the opening night gala's UK premiere of Anerca, Breath of Life by Finnish father and son filmmaking team Markku and Johannes Lehmuskallio, and another UK premiere for the closing night named Arnold is a Model Student.
